Summary:
Pura Belpre moved from Puerto Rico to New York City and became a librarian at a time when libraries were filled with only English language books. But she knew that Spanish speakers would love to make use of the libraries too, and so she persisted in implementing bilingual programming and offerings in libraries across the city. Learn about the amazing life of Pura Belpre--and how she persisted. In Spanish.
