One Book One Denver is back! The 2026 selection is The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.

Set at a reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida, The Nickel Boys is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of injustice.

Join us next week for our monthly Tardes Creativas program on Tuesday, July 14, at 4:30 pm! This month, we will explore José Guadalupe Posada’s printmaking techniques and how he used art as a subtle tool of resistance to create your own protest print. Posada, the creator of the iconic Day of the Dead skeletons, was an astute social critic who used satirical imagery and humor to spark protest and social change.

Don’t forget to mark the next program on your calendars as well. In August, we’ll explore Puerto Rican Vejigante masks.

Our monthly Spanish-led programs through the summer are in partnership with Museo de Las Americas. They are intended for all ages.

¡Acompáñenos la próxima semana en nuestro programa mensual, Tardes Creativas, el martes 14 de julio a las 4:30 pm! Este mes exploraremos las técnicas de grabado de José Guadalupe Posada y cómo utilizó el arte como una herramienta sutil de resistencia, para que usted pueda crear su propia estampa de protesta. Posada, creador de las icónicas calaveras del Día de Mu***os, fue un agudo crítico social que empleó imágenes satíricas y el humor para impulsar la protesta y el cambio social.

No olviden marcar también en sus calendarios el próximo programa. En agosto, exploraremos las máscaras de vejigante de Puerto Rico.

Nuestros programas mensuales en español durante el verano se realizan en colaboración con el Museo de las Américas y están dirigidos a personas de todas las edades.
