Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and Discover Fall Programs at the Diamond Bar Library

As autumn approaches, the Diamond Bar Library is excited to roll out an engaging lineup of community events celebrating culture, creativity, science, and well-being. Whether you are looking to honor rich cultural traditions, spark your child’s curiosity in STEM, or prioritize mental health and wellness, there is something for everyone on our upcoming calendar.

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrations

Join us this September as we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month with vibrant cultural events open to all ages:

• Mexican Mosaic Dance Show: Experience the vibrant colors, energetic rhythms, and rich storytelling of traditional Mexican dance on September 12^th at 2 pm with the Gypsy Folk Dance Ensemble.
• Milagro Hearts Crafting Event: Tap into your creative side on September 15th by designing your own traditional Milagro (miracle) heart—a cherished folk art symbol of healing, hope, and gratitude.

Student STEM Adventures Keep young minds inspired and learning outside the classroom with our hands-on science and engineering workshops tailored for students:

• Captain Bob’s Rockets and Robots: Blast off on September 5th for an action-packed, high-energy presentation that brings the worlds of rocketry and robotics to life.  Join Captain Bob Redmans as he takes you on an out-of-this world journey through flight.
• Model Airplane Workshop: Aspiring aviators can build and test their own aircraft designs on September 26^th at 2:00 p.m., learning foundational physics and aerodynamics concepts in a fun, collaborative environment.  We will use our knowledge in an instructor-led workshop to make model and paper airplanes. And we will test them to see how far they will go!

Community Wellness Presentation

Fostering mental wellness and emotional strength is essential for a thriving community. Join us on September 17^th at 11 a.m. for a special presentation on Mental Health, Stigma, and Resilience, presented entirely in Chinese to better serve and connect with our diverse community members.

All programs are free and open to the public. For specific event times, age guidelines, and to register for workshops that require advance sign-up, please visit the front desk at the library or check our online events calendar. We look forward to seeing you at the library this month!
