Fort Collins Book Fest - Immigrant Stories: Read and Lived

We know there is no one "Immigrant Experience." In fact, each family and individual has their own and, unless your family is indigenous to the United States, your family does too. However, there are many shared themes of opportunity, loneliness, hope, loss, etc. Our Poudre Libraries' ESL Mentoring community, representing immigrants from many countries and situations, will discuss books about or by immigrants to the United States. This group will participate in a panel discussion about these stories and their own immigrant experiences - their joys, challenges, and paths to belonging in Fort Collins. Come hear these incredible stories - they may even resonate with your own family's journey!

Fort Collins Book Fest combines the community’s passion for the literary arts and our unique cultural heritage in a celebration of literature, literacy, and social conversation for all ages. For more Fort Collins Book Fest events, visit focobookfest.org.
