Our hugely successful Martes en Mid-City has a new name and a new location! Now called "Bilingual Family Fun Time," this program continues to provide hang-out time for Spanish-speaking and bilingual families with free activities, snacks, and books. Each monthly gathering features a unique cultural activity, door prize book giveaways, and opportunities for families to connect with their community.
In addition, Americas Award books will be featured. The Americas Award celebrates YA and Children’s literature that portrays Latin America, The Caribbean, and Latinx culture in the United States with an authentic lens. This program is planned for families with children ages 6 - 12 and their siblings.

December 17 - Central American Tamales with Nadina Melara
