GARCIA: National Hispanic Heritage Month wraps Oct. 15

Here's your last chance to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 through Oct. 15) — at no charge.

The Crestview Public Library has many resources to help you learn about Hispanic and Latin cultures and people, and we can help Spanish speakers learn English or English speakers learn Spanish. 

The library has Spanish brochures from Federal Student Aid and a local bilingual newspaper, La Costa Latina. 

In addition, Crestview library card holders can access electronic resources to research topics in Spanish and English. For instance, Informe Académico provides access to newspapers and magazines in Spanish and Portuguese.

There is also Rocket Languages, a language learning resource  recognized with PC Mag and Bessie Awards. 

We also have bilingual picture books, great novels and adult non-fiction books. 

Marie Garcia is the Crestview Public Library's assistant director.
