Timberland Regional Library (TRL) has released a limited edition library card in celebration of Hispanic American Heritage Month and Library Card Signup Month. Designed by local artist Angie Hinojos, this special card celebrates the cultural heritage of the Hispanic community.
The card features an image of Quetzalcoatl, a revered figure in Mexican mythology known as one of the creators of the world and the creator of books. Quetzalcoatl’s image stands as a symbol of cultural pride, alongside vibrant flowers representing the beauty of life, learning and the unfolding joy of knowledge, TRL stated in a news release.
Hinojos, executive director and co-founder of Centro Cultural Mexicano in Redmond, holds an architecture degree from the University of California at Berkeley and uses her experience as a public artist to strengthen community connections, TRL stated.
