Celebrating 10 Years of Café a las Siete
|
|
Café a las Siete
has welcomed musicians from Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. Together, attendees have learned to dance salsa and to tango, and have crafted traditional Mexican paper flowers. The series has also showcased delicious Latin American and Spanish food, featured Cuban author Emma Otheguy, and listened to U.S. citizens who have journeyed to Cuba and Guatemala.

Over the years, the various
Café
programs have inspired library patrons to delve further into Latinx culture. The showcase inspired a series of cooking programs led by Chef
Tomás Saez, a number of beginning salsa dancers have become regulars at the library's salsa classes, and many have found their way to the weekly
Wednesday Spanish-English Conversation Group
(where together they hone their language skills). Many of these attendees have become close friends, and embrace the library community as they gather to learn together about this shared culture.
Diana and the library welcome you to come and enjoy some of the very best of Latinx culture right here in Greenburgh. Don't miss it!

"This book was like peering into a window of the character's lives, revealed in a sparse and honest way. There was no judgement from the author about the characters' choices right or wrong. It was a refreshing look at romance and interactions of young people in today's times. Highly enjoyable!"
