LEARN MORE:

As a famous library philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie provided funds to South Branch Library, which opened on January 16, 1918. South has been an asset to the Old South End community. South serves a multicultural and diverse neighborhood, specializing in Latino culture with collections in English and Spanish. In 2004 the Branch relocated to its current location. This new modern building features glass walls and original Latino artwork.

Non-fiction titles like gardening, crafts, hobbies, medicine, and philosophy are available in the Hispanic Collection at South Branch. Many fiction titles are available, including classics and modern fiction, books written by established Spanish language authors, and translations from popular English fiction.

The collection represents many Spanish-speaking countries and features books by Latino-American, Latin-America, and Spanish authors. The collection contains Spanish children’s books with English translations. Music, movies, and subtitled content are also available.
