National Arab American Heritage Month, celebrated every April, honors the history, culture, and contributions of Arab Americans.

First federally recognized by President Joe Biden in 2021, this month serves as an opportunity to recognize the diverse communities within the Arab American population and their significant impact on American society across various fields.

In honor of National Arab American Heritage Month, we celebrate the diverse literary traditions within the Arab American community, which offer powerful insights into the history, struggles, and triumphs of Arab Americans.

At the library, we provide a variety of books that reflect the complexities of the Arab American experience.

These resources not only highlight the challenges faced by these communities but also celebrate their vibrant cultures, which are an integral part of the American mosaic.

We invite you to visit the library this month to discover new works, enjoy literary classics, and deepen your appreciation for the rich cultural contributions of Arab Americans.
