This year, there is a new way to participate. Create a Beanstack app account and join the Hispanic Heritage Month reading challenges. You can also visit all the library locations to view a display dedicated to a Latin or South American country or Puerto Rico. Travel to all seven library locations and get your passport stamped at each to be entered into a prize drawing! The Arlington Public Library will also recognize Hispanic Heritage Month with a series of programs designed to highlight and celebrate heritage rooted in all Spanish-speaking countries.

National Night Out is on Oct. 4.

Residents are encouraged to turn on their porch lights and gather with their neighbors to show unity against criminal activity. Registered communities may be visited by public service personnel such as those from police, fire, and emergency medical services.
