This April, the New York Public Library hosted our first World Literature Festival. Across three weeks, there were a wide range of programs from live storytimes, to book discussions, to author talks. 

We hosted an “In Conversation” series of author talks and panels where we invited authors, poets, and leaders of organizations to speak with us. These programs were conducted in many languages and we are pleased to share the recordings now as part of Immigrant Heritage Month 2021 to continue to highlight and celebrate authors that reflect our communities.

On April 30th, the Library hosted members of the Quechua Collective and Mixteca Organization for a discussion of the work their organizations do and to provide a bridge for patrons to learn more about the work that is being done to support indigenous speaking communities in New York City.
