An Afternoon at the LA Libros Festival: Books, Stories and Latino Heritage

Celebrating books, stories and Latino heritage — a beautiful afternoon at the Los Angeles Libros Festival, in the incredible Central Library of Los Angeles.

Authors, talks, workshops and so many books in Spanish to discover and share as a family. Events like this one matter enormously: they celebrate our roots, our language, and the stories that connect us — and they put Spanish-language books in the hands of kids growing up bilingual in the U.S.

As someone who spends her days giving voice to stories — from audiobooks to children's series — few things move me like watching families fall in love with reading in their own language. The voice and the page are two doors into the same world.

Here's to the authors, librarians and organizers who make it happen, year after year.
