National Arab American Heritage Month, celebrated in April since 2017, honors the rich and diverse culture and contributions of Arab Americans. The Arab American Institute estimates that approximately 3.7 million Americans have Arab roots, with ancestries tracing back to 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, such as Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Morocco, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, among others. This guide aims to share resources that highlight and celebrate the diverse experiences of Arab Americans. Explore our virtual display of ebooks, audiobooks by Arab and Arab American authors, podcasts, and online resources. Additionally, a public book display will be available throughout the month at the Aurora Downtown Library, where you can check out print books.
