The Plaza Library partners with Cultural Crossroads to encourage communication in our community. Cultural Conversations is a program designed to offer opportunities for open discussion and exchange of ideas on multicultural topics. Meet and talk with others who are interested in cultural dialogue, exchange ideas, and learn about the many cultures in our society.

The role of the family in personal identity and development (and the definition of family) varies from culture to culture and, within our broader American society, from subculture to subculture. What is the effect of "family" in today's society and how are the different definitions and priorities of "family" affecting us? How does the concept and importance of "family" differ from one culture to another?
