Here’s a roundup of Día celebrations taking place in the Golden State!

All branches will be celebrating with cultural performances, interactive STEAM stations, and a free book giveaway with titles in Spanish and English.

"The Library looks forward to Día every year,” says Yolo County Librarian Patty Wong. “Encouraging children and their families to read and learn is important to the growth and health of the community.”
