Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Tulsa City-County Library during a series of free family events honoring the colorful traditions of the Hispanic culture.
The annual event is coordinated by TCCL’s Hispanic Resource Center, located at the Martin Regional Library, 2601 S. Garnett Road. The design of the Hispanic Resource Center is to provide cultural, informational and educational resources, as well as activities and services for both Spanish- and English-speaking families. The center was established to meet the educational and cultural need of Tulsa County’s growing Hispanic community.
Each year, library staff plan educational and fun family programs showcasing Hispanic resources at Tulsa City-County Library. These free community programs are of interest for all ages.
Hispanic Heritage Month programs are sponsored by the Tulsa City-County Library’s Hispanic Resource Center and Tulsa Library Trust.
