The Denver Public Library is celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month!
This heritage month encourages immigrants and allies to celebrate the contributions of immigrants and explore immigrant heritage.
Immigrant Heritage Month is also a great time to learn about the programs and services we offer all year long for immigrant and refugee communities in Denver to create connection and a sense of belonging within our community:
Plaza programs provide weekly, year-round immigrant navigation services at nine DPL branches. Each Plaza hosts English conversation groups, citizenship study groups, 1-1 resource help, and more. Visit the Plaza webpage for a full schedule: https://www.denverlibrary.org/plaza/plazalibrary
DPL Language Services focuses on providing programs, outreach, and support in our customers’ preferred languages whenever possible. Our current services center on three of the most spoken languages in Denver: Spanish, Arabic, and Vietnamese. We want to ensure that library experiences and services are accessible to everyone in our community.
