During the last week of April for the past 20 years, libraries and other organizations have been celebrating El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day). You can catch a Dia program (or several!) at any one of 17 Public Library locations this year. From bilingual storytimes to music, crafts and even STEM activities, the programs will celebrate multicultural literacy in many ways. The Taylor Ranch branch will even have an interactive flamenco performance with Dulce Flamenco Internacional, and Princess Unicorn will share her message of empowerment during a storytime at the Ernie Pyle branch. See the full Dia events page at http://abqlibrary.org/dia.
Some fantastic booklists are available on the official Dia website—featuring titles whose authors and subjects span the globe and cross cultures. Here are some of our favorites from each list (titles available in the library):
