Live Events Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month At New Rochelle Library

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The New Rochelle Public Library is continuing its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with two special programs this week.

On Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m., the New Rochelle Public Library, in partnership with other Westchester Library System libraries, will present a virtual tour of the Cesar Chavez National Monument. Widely recognized as the most important Latino leader in the U.S. during the twentieth century, Cesar Chavez led farm workers and supporters in the establishment of the country's first permanent agricultural union. Today, the National Park Service preserves his home, and the headquarters of the United Farm Workers in Keene, California, as the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument.

Registration is required and can be completed here.

On Friday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m., Brooklyn -based composer Carlos Pavan will perform live in the Ossie Davis Theater at the main branch of the library, located at 1 Library Plaza. Pavan skillfully blends Argentine tango and folklore rhythms with classical and jazz concepts.

Registration is requested here.
