Our library serves a community that’s 38% Hispanic and we strive to include culturally relevant and authentic materials on Hispanics and Mexico in our collections. La Quinceañera is a valuable addition. Not only has it been appreciated by our community - it has been constantly off the shelves since we acquired it - it has also inspired a quinceañera-themed day at the library during Hispanic Heritage Month which will include a screening of the documentary, a dress fashion show and party favor crafts, among other activities.
