Honor Latinx and Hispanic heritage with AHS Library

We are celebrating Latinx and Hispanic heritage this month at the Albany High Library. I’ve gathered together a wide variety of resources in this collection, which takes you right to our online catalog: Latinx and Hispanic Heritage. Right now, I’m reading a new collection of essays by Luis J. Rodriguez called “From Our Land to Our Land: Essays, Journeys and Imaginings From a Native Xicanx Writer.” It’s a fascinating look at identity, heritage, religion and culture from a leading author and former poet-laureate of Los Angeles.

Here are a few favorite books at the AHS Library:

• Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

• Barely Missing Everything, by Matt Mendez

• Dealing in Dreams, by Lilliam Rivera

• Gabi, a Girl in Pieces, by Isabel Quintero

• I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, by Erika L. Sánchez

• In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez

• The Poet X, by Elizabeth Acevedo

• Yes! We Are Latinos, by Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy

Remember that the library is open every Friday from 9am till 4pm to pick up and return books. If you have any questions, just send me an email.
