Latinos: Contributing to the Fabric of the Nation
Hispanic Heritage Month Symposium

Hispanic Heritage Month Symposium Sept 19 2023

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15. This year, SJSU iSchool Health and Wellness Ambassador, Loida Garcia-Febo, is bringing a keynote featuring how library services to Latinos support social cohesion and the contributions of Latinos to the fabric of the nation, highlighting the field of librarianship.

A panel discussion with experts serving Latinos and Spanish speakers nationwide will bring insights about critical contributions librarians and library services make to Latinos to support culture, communication, diverse populations, education, financial security, health, gender equality, inclusion, immigration, wellbeing, and society in general. Additionally, speakers will discuss how libraries can better support Latinos and Spanish speakers, their education, and lifelong learning.
