Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15-October 15... What a great time to read and learn about the contributions Hispanic Americans have made to our country. Visit newburghlibrary.org or ask your school librarian for book suggestions.

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. If you don’t have a library card yet, visit newburghlibrary.org or ask your school librarian for help. It is easy and free and opens up a world of books! Happy reading 📚
