National Hispanic Heritage Month (Mes de la Herencia Hispana) 2016 began on Thursday, September 15 and ends on Saturday, October 15.

Moraine Park celebrating Constitution Day

Each year on Constitution Day, September 17th, the United States pauses to commemorate the drafting of its Constitution, four pages that created a new government more than 200 years ago and that continue to shape the lives of each of us to this day.

For Constitution Day 2016, the Moraine Park Technical College libraries invite you to renew your acquaintance with the U.S. Constitution and reflect on its historical and contemporary significance.

During the week of September 12th, please visit the Constitution Day display in your campus library for treats, a quiz, and library materials about the Constitution and contemporary Constitutional issues.
