Join us on Saturday, September 27 at 1 PM, as we host a special celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at the library. The afternoon will begin with pan dulce (traditional Mexican sweet bread) and coffee, followed by an incredible live performance from Mariachi Calmecac at 1:30 PM. To top it all off, we’ll have a giveaway at the end of the program—so you’ll definitely want to stay until the very end! 🎶
This event is free and open to all ages, so gather your family and friends and save the date for a joyful celebration of culture, music, and community.
