2024 Hispanic Legislative Visit Day (Columbus, Ohio)	BEING LATINX IN OHIO A discussion on identity and the experience of being Latinx in Ohio.
https://www.daytonmetrolibrary.org/news/plaza-comunitaria/ Dayton Metro Library has partnered with local groups and the Mexican Consulate to offer a program in Spanish called Plaza Comunitaria (“Community Plaza” in Spanish). Patrons and community members are welcome to attend the opening ceremony in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum, on Thursday, June 6, at 11 am. At the ceremony, DML and the Mexican Consulate will sign a memorandum of understanding to bring Plaza Comunitaria to Dayton, which offers 9th grade diplomas and literacy programs for people ages 15 and up. Phase one for the program will begin with enrollment up to the 9th grade in September 2025. Higher levels will be offered in a bilingual format beginning in the Fall of 2025, with additional local partners. Manuel Lopez Ramirez, Chairperson with the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission, said that having such a program at the Library is important because many Spanish-speaking people bring their children here to use their resources, so the Plaza Comunitaria will help further bridge the Hispanic communities to the Library.
