Hispanic and Latino are the two most used terms to describe Americans with Latin American and Caribbean ancestry. You may often see these terms used interchangeably, but different people understand and use these terms differently. The National Museum of the American Latino uses the term “Latino” to describe the diverse residents of the United States with cultural or ancestral ties to Latin America or the Caribbean. For many, the term "Latino" also creates room for acknowledging Black, Indigenous, Asian, and other heritages on equal terms with European ancestry. The term “Hispanic” is used to signal a connection to Spain or the Spanish language.
Why come up to the library, check out a book and actually read? Watch my video and find out why you should!
Come up and check out what we have to offer you. Plus, you can just say 'Hi, how are ya?" and visit with me. This is a space for YOU - for reading, sitting with friends, doing school work, and just being. After school, I am here until 4:30 pm and will be happy to help you find a book or work on homework.
The mission of the school library program at La Junta Jr./Sr. High School is to provide an inviting, dynamic learning environment and services that support and enhance teaching, learning, and literacy.
