Community Ofrenda
Central Library -
An ofrenda is a traditional altar created to honor and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed away. Rooted in Mexican and broader Latin American cultures, ofrendas are vibrant displays that often include photographs, candles, flowers, favorite foods, and meaningful items to welcome the spirits of the departed and keep their memories alive.
As part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, we invite you to contribute to our Community Ofrenda, available at all library locations from October 1 - November 2. Please bring in a photo and we can make a copy to include on the ofrenda, or submit a photo here.
