The deadline for the 2013 Mora Award is approaching — it’s August 15. Lupita Vega, chair of the REFORMA Mora Award Committee, writes:

If your library, school, educational institute, or youth-serving organization hosted a fantastic celebration of El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day), consider nominating it for REFORMA’s 2013 Estela and Raúl Mora Award.

The Award has been presented annually since 2000 to the most exemplary program celebrating El día de los niños/El día de los libros, also known as Día. It consists of a $1,000 stipend and a plaque to be displayed by the winning library or school.
