  Library celebrates Asian American Month
  Shanti Vutukuro of the Kaveri Natya Yoga Group dances at the Guerra Branch Library as part of SAPL's celebration of Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month in May.
  The San Antonio Public Library continues to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a variety of events, including music and dance demonstrations as well as numerous activities designed to spotlight the unique cultures.
  One of the most interesting activities is a tea tasting. At each event, an expert presents three types of Asian teas and explains how the different cultures within Asia are united through their common love of tea.
  The next event is scheduled for 3-4:30 p.m. Saturday at Mission Branch Library, 3134 Roosevelt Ave.
  Among the most compelling events has been the performances of classical Indian dance embodying music, mythology and storytelling based on a specific theme.
  "The Many Colors of Music" plays music in its many forms: classical, semi-classical, folk and light.
  Performances have been taking place at branch libraries throughout the San Antonio area. The next one in this area is set for Saturday, May 31, 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. at the Central Library, 600 Soledad St.
  Meanwhile, words also play an important role in explaining the intriguing Asian Pacific cultures and heritage.
  San Antonio author Barbara Lazar has been discussing her novel, "The Pillow Book of the Flower Samurai" at several branch libraries. Her book, a fictional novel based on history, is set in 12th century Japan. It tells the story of a young girl's journey from the comfort of her family to the Village of Outcasts. Marked by a positive omen, she learns the ancient warrior arts of the samurai.
  Lazar will be talking about her book at the Brook Hollow Branch Library, 530 Heimer Road, at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 31.
