Library increases Spanish-language materials through Libros for Oregon
The community is invited to browse recently enhanced Spanish-language materials and celebrate the Hispanic culture during Día de los Niños from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 at the Grants Pass branch of Josephine Community Library.
Community members can checkout Spanish-language books for children, teens, and adults in all genres purchased through the State Library of Oregon’s Libros for Oregon program. People are encouraged to stay to celebrate the Hispanic culture by enjoying a special storytime and music in Spanish, sampling Mexican pastries and horchata, playing games, and making Latin American crafts.
