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.
