Activities, a Spanish Book Fair and more

COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15. CML staff offer book picks for readers of all ages and all CML locations will also put books by Hispanic and Latine authors on special display. All CML locations will also offer a Hispanic Heritage Month Discovery Quest, an activity that invites customers aged 7 and older to find information posted throughout the library about Hispanic and Latine book characters.

Additionally, CML will host a Spanish Book Fair at its Main Library (96 S. Grant Ave.) on Saturday, Oct. 12 in partnership with La Asociación de Escritores de Ohio. From 9 a.m.-6 p.m., readers of all ages are invited to connect with more than 20 Latine authors, plus enjoy live music and dance, food trucks, Bilingual Storytime and more. Free parking available in our attached garage.

Columbus Metropolitan Library has served the people of Franklin County, Ohio since 1873. With its Main Library and 22 branches, CML is well known for signature services and programs like School Help, Reading Buddies, Summer Reading Challenge and Ready for Kindergarten. The library’s Strategic Plan supports the vision of “a thriving community where wisdom prevails,” which positions CML to respond to areas of urgent need: kids unprepared for kindergarten, third grade reading proficiency, high school graduation, college and career readiness and employment resources.
