Originating Calendar
Latine Heritage Month

Join us at La Casa for a cozy evening of reading, reflection, and resistance. Bring a banned or challenged book by a Latine author or select one from our collection then settle in with hot cocoa and community. Read quietly, share what moves you, or simply enjoy a space where Latine stories are protected and the freedom to read is celebrated.
