The recent events in Puerto Rico remind us of the importance of building a long-lasting collection of Puerto Rican items on the West Coast of the United States. We have been steadily building our collections of the Caribbean Studies given our surging faculty interests in the Caribbean. We are fortunate to have Professors Tom McEnaney, Daylet Domínguez and Elena Schneider on the campus who constantly keep me motivating and inspiring. I present you with new Puerto Rican books that can be borrowed and used.
