Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15, and the Cobb County Public Library got to work compiling a list of reading material created by, for and about North America’s Spanish-speaking people.

There are works for all ages, and we’ve reprinted them below. They contain links to the library’s catalogs for the works:

[Editor’s note: there is some disagreement and controversy within the Hispanic community about the gender-neutral term Latinx. Our policy at the Courier is to allow communities of color to define the terms used to describe their community themselves, so until there is a clear consensus, in materials we publish we’ll use the more general term Hispanic except when quoting from other sources. The list below quotes from the library’s website so we left their usage intact. This is in no way a criticism of the term Latinx. We are just not ready to commit to a term that does not have a substantial consensus in the affected community]
