Every May, the United States celebrates people in the US who have Asian or Pacific Island heritage. The following library books and resources represent a small part of our collection dedicated to the histories, cultures, and lives of Asian Americans and people from the Pacific Islands. For more information about Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, visit PBS or the official US government website.
For more reading ideas, check out the Recommended Reading shelf on the second floor of Highline library, or Ask A Librarian.
