May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month

Asian Pacific Americans represent a growing and influential community within U.S. society in youth activism, government, literature, entertainment, civil society, and the arts. In recognition of the diverse contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to the United States, the month-long celebrations are held in the U.S. This year marks the 21st anniversary of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

To celebrate Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, a variety of books by and about Asian Pacific Americans are on display in the American Corner accompanied by a paper show introducing diversity of Asian American and their culture.
