Hispanic Heritage Month

On Mexican Independence Day, which kicked off National Hispanic Heritage Month last week, the HIU student association offered free shaved ice and elote in front of the library! 

Bryan Pomboza, Library Services Assistant,
and Amanda Careres, Student Assistant,
enjoy a treat just outside the library!

Did you know that about 22.6% of the enrolled student body of Hope International University is Hispanic-Latino? And that fully half of the library's student workers are Latino?

Did you know that the Darling Library has a good number of books written in Spanish? Almost exactly 10 years ago today we received a special donation of Biblical Studies and Ministry books written in Spanish. See the full story here. And we have Spanish eBooks, too!? (To find them, just limit your search by language along with your search terms.)

And, did you know that HIU has a close association with Crossmont Biblical Institute (CBI) which prepares leaders for Christian ministry in Latino-Hispanic churches across Southern California? Did you know that these students have full access to the Darling Library?

The Darling Library supports biblical studies and ministry among the Hispanic community throughout the year!
