Club de Literatura Moderna en Español
Boulder Public Library y Boulder Valley School District ofrecen un club de lecutra en español. Incluye discusiones en español cada mes sobre un libro de la literatura moderna de España y Latino América. Los participantes deben tener un nivel avanzado de español. Se espera que todos hayan leído el libro, u a lo menos un resumen de él, antes de participar activamente en las discusiones, pero que se sienten bienvenidos de pasar y escuchar si no llegaron a leer el texto. Todas las reuniones son el primer viernes del mes en el Boulder Creek Room a las 4 de la tarde.
