Dia De Los Ninos

Does your library celebrate Dia De Los Ninos/Day of the Child? Here's the "official" description of the initiative:

Children's Day/Book Day, also known as de los niños/El día de los libros (Día), is a celebration of children, families, and reading held annually on April 30. The celebration emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

El día brings attention to the importance of reading and inclusion in a way that few initiatives do. This single initiative sums ups so much of what libraries are all about.

So, what would it take to encourage all public libraries in North Carolina to embrace El día and what it stands for? Learn more about El día and share what you've done or dream of doing in your library to celebrate and support literacy and inclusion with us here!
