About Heritage Month Celebrations

The Westerville Public Library’s intention with this initiative is to reflect our diverse community, encourage acceptance, promote respect, expand understanding, amplify a wide range of voices, and energize community conversations. Suggestions for future celebrations welcome.

Heritage in this context is intended to encompass the people, places, and things that have been passed down from generation to generation. Learn more.
