On Saturday, October 3, the Association of Puerto Rican Women of Columbus (ADPC) celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month at the Mildred L. Terry Public Library on Veterans Parkway. New books written by well-known Puerto Rican authors and poets were donated to the Library by the Association. Some of the members read short biographies about each author and excerpts from some of the books in both Spanish and English. The event was highlighted by a presentation about the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, folkloric dancers and an art exhibit of drawings and painting by aspiring Puerto Rican artists. In addition, a collection of arts and crafts were on display in the main entrance and in the conference room. Cuisine from the island was enjoyed by all.

In attendance were Claudya Muller, Director of the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries and Silvia Bunn, Manager of the Mildred L. Terry Public Library. They presented ADPC with a brick representing a donation to the Library. Elsa Lopez, Treasurer of ADPC, announced that the brick symbolizes the association co-ownership in the community - It is the organizations mission to promote literacy, the arts and diversity for current and future generations to follow. We want to preserve the cultural values and traditions of those that came before us.
