A community screening of the 2021 musical "In the Heights" is held to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Free tickets, courtesy of the library, available at the Princeton Garden Theatre.

This musical drama is based on the stage musical of the same name by Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin-Manuel Miranda. It follows a similar plot to the musical, telling the story of a corner in the predominantly Dominican Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City, where every member of the community pursues their sueñitos (little dreams) for a better life. Free tickets may be reserved in advance.
