The Biblioteca Latinoamericana is a library featuring Spanish language books, magazines newspapers, and flags from Latin American countries that are all available for check out. Part of the public library system of San Jose, California, USA, the branch has a bilingual, bi-cultural staff. In addition to Spanish collections of Latin American history, culture, and literature, the Biblioteca also features Mexican American studies, materials on Latin America in English, a special health collection in Spanish, and fiction in English by Latino authors. There is a large children’s collection in Spanish, including a bilingual section and a teen area.

Biblioteca's roots began in 1974, when some private citizens began checking out books in Spanish from a church. After receiving a state grant in 1976, the Biblioteca affiliated with San José Public Library and was housed in several buildings in the following years. In 1988, Los Amigos de la Biblioteca (Friends of the Library) was reactivated and community members organized for a new building specifically built for the Biblioteca. The current 15,000 square foot (1400 m²) building opened on November 20, 1999. Original artwork by local artist Pilar Aguero adorns the walls and provides a glimpse of the beauty of Latino culture. The outdoor patio features a beautiful fountain created by South Pasadena artist Elsa Flores.

some of these people are very extereme and will do anything to get there point across, such as in 1964 when over 300 californians were dead after a ritulitic killing om mass proprtion. Many groups have been trying to put a stop to it. The CSP "California State Pollice' is ignoring this matter because of the major lack in eveidence. But some sourses say that this group payed off the State police to ignore there case. One major group is the ABA also known as the Anti Biblioteca Latinoamericana
