Páginas is a gathering of people who identify as Latina, Latino, Latinx or those interested in Latinx culture. We will come together once a month to read, discuss, and celebrate literature by Latinx authors or works that explore Latinx or Latin-American themes. We offer a space for community, identity, and shared experiences, focusing on the diverse perspectives within the Latinx diaspora.

Boundaries and Crossings
For this book circle we have beeen discussing the the theme of Fronteras | Borders, which relates to our current visual art exhibition. Each chapter takes the reader on a journey through stories that delves into the concept of borders—both physical and metaphorical. From political frontiers and cultural divisions to personal boundaries and identity shifts, we’ll explore narratives that challenge, transcend, and redefine the spaces between. Through diverse voices, we’ll discuss the implications of living on the edge of boundaries, where nations, languages, and identities intersect, and reflect on what it means to belong—or not belong—in a world of constantly shifting lines.
