The Hailey Public Library takes great pleasure in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and our community\u2019s many rich Hispanic traditions with an outstanding series of programs.\u00a0Established in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15\u2013October 15 and recognizes the anniversaries of independence of a number of Latin American countries.<\/p>\n
HPL launches the month with a Family Friendly Kickoff from 4\u20137 p.m. on Friday, September 13, at Town Center West.\u00a0Father and son duo Quinta Genera\u0107ion return with lively songs and great music. Local Salvadorian restaurant Lago Azul will offer delicious food, with the first\u00a050\u00a0meals free.\u00a0Kids\u2019 activities are the heart and soul of the Kickoff.\u00a0This year\u2019s activities include face painting, tissue paper flowers and pi\u00f1atas for the kids. The evening concludes with rousing rounds of loter\u00eda, a traditional Mexican game similar to bingo but played with pinto beans as markers on special cards. Bilingual callers Herbert Romero and friends get the whole family involved and winners of each round get great prizes.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s children\u2019s StoryWalk\u00a9 display will feature the delightfully rhyming, bilingual book\u00a0We Are All Connected\/ Todos Estamos Conectados: Caring for Each Other & the Earth\u00a0by\u00a0Gabi Garcia.\u00a0The story\u00a0celebrates empathy, understanding, and respect. The StoryWalk\u00a9 will be on display outside Town Center West from\u00a0September 15\u2013October 15.<\/p>\n
The theme of this year\u2019s Hispanic Heritage Month is Honoring Heritage.\u00a0HPL aspires to honor all the cultural threads that weave together the fabric of our community with a new window display, \u201cHonor\u00a0YourHeritage.\u201d\u00a0Community members young and old have submitted stories, poems, photographs, drawings or whatever, honoring their family\u2019s heritage or heritages.\u00a0Come celebrate with them!<\/p>\n
In addition, national flags from Mexico and many Central and South American countries will be on display in the library.<\/p>\n
