September 15 marked the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time of celebration for the nation’s vast Latino and Spanish-speaking communities.
In honor of the month, the Boston Public Library released a list to highlight the work of Hispanic and Latino American authors across genres. Vida Latina includes recent titles in adult fiction, nonfiction, and poetry as well as YA novels and children’s literature. Renato Cisneros, Mariana Enriquez, Cristina García, Linda Ronstadt, and Danny Trejo are just some of the authors featured in this booklist.
Staff librarians from the Adams Street, East Boston, Faneuil, Lower Mills, and South Boston branches, along with the Central Library in Copley Square all contributed to the list, according to BPL.
