Celebrating Heritage: “Hispanic Portraits” Exhibit Opens at Brooks Memorial Library

We are thrilled to share exciting news from our neighboring community! The Brooks Memorial Library has recently opened a new exhibition, “Hispanic Portraits,” highlighting the rich artistic talent and diverse faces of Hispanic culture.

This local installation is a reminder of the vibrant contributions and deep roots of Hispanic voices in our region.
