Each May, we celebrate Asian American & Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States, honoring the diverse voices, perspectives, arts and cultural influences, and rich history of the AANHPI community.
In addition to the Library District’s FREE AANHPI Heritage Month events and programs happening in our branches, here’s a selection of what you can check out from our vast library collection. You will also find educational and entertaining online resources that you can browse 24/7 with your FREE library card!
