Here at Sunset Park Library we have a very diverse community which includes a lot of Hispanic residents. On Friday, September 20, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (which runs from September 15 to October 15) we had a big event at the library.
In the morning we had guests from the wonderful IATI Theater put on a bilingual (English/Spanish) performance of "The Boy Who Lied." We had a crowd of first graders from a local elementary school in the audience, and they absolutely loved it!
In the afternoon we had a big arts and crafts session for all ages, featuring creations inspired by Hispanic culture. The kids had a blast making maracas, flags, Mexican yarn art, Aztec/Mayan design scratch art, and decorative headbands.
