CSN Libraries is proud to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing highlights of materials in our collection of print and electronic resources. We have also partnered with North Las Vegas Campus Life for an event making papel picado (paper banners) and with the Charleston Coyote Den on a book discussion with Drs. Pla-Cazares and Luis Ortega discussing the book Transforming Hispanic-Serving Institutions for Equity and Justice which is available at the Charleston campus library. Look out for more events and be sure to check out the book displays at the campus libraries to learn more about the history, cultures, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latin Americans.
