Read-In for Justice-Hispanic Heritage Month Program Releases Spanish Language Flyer

The Birmingham Public Library’s Read-In for Justice program celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month has released a Spanish version of the flyer.

The program, airing virtually on the BPL Facebook page, will take place on Saturday, September 12, 2020, between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Read-In for Justice Through Our Eyes: Our Stories, Our Lives, will use books to educate viewers about the many contributions made by Hispanic Americans as well as their influences to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.

Some of the books will be read in Spanish for Latino viewers.

Read-In for Justice, which was spotlighted by the Urban Libraries Council in August, is BPL’s monthly focus on reading books that showcase race and social justice issues.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15. 

Rachel Estes, outreach director at Canterbury United Methodist Church in Mountain Brook, is collaborating with BPL on this event.The Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama (HICA) and Jefferson County Library Association are also partnering with BPL on this Read-In for Justice event.
