The Spanish speaking community in Philadelphia needed an event to share their own diverse stories through literature, and cultural roots. Do you know that a team of community leaders created the First Latin American Book Fair in 2019? This is an event that connects new and more seasoned authors, illustrators, writers, designers, publishers, editors, artists, book lovers and the community in the city. This is an intercultural and multicultural program for the intergenerational families that live in the City of Brotherly Love and beyond. This annual event promotes cultural awareness and visibility building along the way strong partnerships, and coalitions within the community. This program is organized for a group of volunteers with passion, just for you!

In the first year or so of the pandemic, we were looking for a project that we could work on remotely that would connect us to our communities during a time of isolation. What emerged was a cookbook project that displays the cultural diversity in each neighborhood and reflects the collaboration between communities and their libraries.
