The period of Sept. 15-Oct. 15 is recognized as Hispanic Heritage Month by the U.S. Congress.
The Cobb Public Library System has published an extensive booklist as part of the local observances, including titles in history, culture and more, for children and adults.
The federal agencies leading the official national observance include the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (website here).
There was a festival on Sunday hosted by the city of Marietta, and future local events include a concert on the green Saturday at Logan Farm Park in Acworth and an Hispanic Heritage Fiesta on Oct. 12 at Thurman Springs Park in Powder Springs.
