"Superheroes" Visit Main Library

The celebration of The Distant Land of My Father has begun at the Main Library with a display from the group "Growing Up Asian in America".

"The Asian Pacific Fund selects a new theme for the Growing Up Asian in America contest every year, and in 2007 we asked youth to address “Superheroes.” We wanted to learn what characteristics young people value and how their heroes make homes, neighborhoods, communities and the world a better place. We received artwork and essays that show how students understand courage and heroism, danger and suffering, risks and challenges."

The local winner's drawings and essays are part of this display that has enchanted all that have seen it. Come on in and be part of this celebration!
