We’re having lots of fun with our thematic book displays! May 2016 celebrates Haitian Heritage month. We have books about contemporary Haiti, its history as well as books by Haitian American authors like Edwidge Danticat. There are only a few days left for this book display, so come on by the library. Our book display is located close to the library entrance, just past our electronic gates.
You can also read more in our Caribbean Literature database! Browse places and select “Haiti” to find works by 28 Haitian and Haitian emigre authors.
