Happenings | Updates from RILA
On Friday, May 18, 2018 we inaugurated our new space in Central Falls with a standing-room-only reception for Celia E. Pérez, author of The First Rule of Punk. The book was selected by both Rhode Island Latino Arts and the Rhode Island Center for Book for Kids Reading Across Rhode Island summer reading program.
Latino Books Month, celebrated annually in May since 2004, promotes books by and for Latinos. This month-long celebration is sponsored by the Association of American Publishers (AAP), which encourages booksellers, librarians, and teachers to promote books by and for Latinos and encourage their communities to read Latino books in both English and Spanish.
