To foster a sense of community and adventure for the upcoming Germantown Warhawk Bands trip to Madrid, Spain in Dec 2025/Jan 2026 to participate in the city's Cabalgata de Reyes parade on 01/05/2026, this list will initially feature books related to Spain's culture, music, architecture, food , art and history, that may be of interest to those making the trip and their surrounding community. We encourage the use of the Germantown Community Library as a source for books, and encourage people to explore the Library's Monarch Catalog as a means to access materials throughout the library system.
