Immigrant Heritage Month at NYPL
The New York Public Library welcomes people with diverse cultural backgrounds and celebrates the rich multicultural diversity that builds New York City, home to 3.1 million immigrants.
In celebration of Immigrant Heritage Month, explore the Library's exciting selection of multicultural and multilingual blog posts, virtual programming, and resources.
Background
Since June of 2014, Immigrant Heritage Month has given people across the United States an opportunity to annually explore their own heritage and celebrate the shared diversity that forms the unique story of America.
We are happy to support this initiative, which provides new avenues for individuals, community organizations, companies, and public leaders to take action in support of their immigrant employees, colleagues, constituents, neighbors, and friends—not just during Immigrant Heritage Month, but every day of the year.
Join us and a growing coalition across the country proclaiming that it’s time to #CelebrateImmigrants!
