This month, our staff picks celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, also known as Latinx Heritage Month. This showcase is here to acknowledge the importance of the Latinx community. Their history and contribution to literature is rich, so the collection is meant to inspire an interest in this community of authors. There are many more to discover at the Staff Picks shelf this month located by the Ask Us Desk. Please visit this website to learn more about this month-long celebration: National Hispanic Heritage Month (Hispanic Heritage Month website)

In partnership for this celebration, Auraria Library and the Center for Multicultural Engagement and Inclusion (CMEI) at Metropolitan State University of Denver have agreed to purchase several new books, both printed and online. These new resources help expand the diversity of the library collection, which we are constantly striving to do. These purchases along with others in the library are highlighted below.
