A Hispanic Heritage Month book sale opens Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the Livingston Public Library. The Friends of the Livingston Public Library will stock a special table of books and non-print media by Hispanic artists through Wednesday, Sept. 23, according to the West Essex Tribune.
The table will be set up near the Friends Book Store in the library's Periodical Lounge. Prices match the store's everyday rates.
The sale is part of the Friends' Heritage Celebration Sales series, which highlights different cultural observances throughout the year. The group held a similar sale for Black History Month in February.
