Day of the Child, Day of the Book

May 2, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Dia Graphic

The Orange City Public Library will launch its first annual Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros celebration on May 2, 2015. Día de los Niños, or Day of the Child, is traditionally celebrated on April 30 throughout Mexico. Libraries across the U.S. have combined this Mexican holiday with a celebration of children’s literacy in an event called Day of the Child, Day of the Book.

Día will begin at 10:00 am on May 2 with a bilingual storytime, which is open to English speakers and Spanish speakers alike. From 10:00-2:00, participants can visit five different countries around the library to get stamps in their Día passport. Stories based in those countries will be read every half hour starting at 11:00. Día will end with a game of Lotería at 3:00 — a traditional Mexican game similar to bingo, which has been adapted to incorporate popular children’s book characters.

If you are interested in this program, feel free to contact Anna at the Orange City Public Library at 707-4302 or annab@orangecity.lib.ia.us. More information about Día celebrations can be found below.
