The NHCC is thrilled to announce that we will be reconnecting in person with lovers of literature, folks who love to read, and those who enjoy talking about the far reaches of Latinidad. We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.
In September, we will be reading Familia by Lauren E. Rico. Familia explores the story of two young women who are brought together by a genealogy test and a haunting question that shakes their understanding of what family is and who they truly are.
Free community event. Please let us know who will be attending below.
