Santa Clara City Library celebrated El Día De Los Niños on April 30 with a special story/craft program featuring guest reader Councilman Joe Kornder. El Día De Los Niños 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.
The Día festivities continue on Wednesday, May 6 at 7 pm with a performance at Mission Library Family Reading Center by musical duo Colibrí. Colibrí members Lichi Fuentes and Alisa Peres create a bridge with their music that links English and Spanish-speaking cultures. This performance is funded by a grant through the Metropolitan Cooperative Library System. All children in attendance will receive a free multicultural book while supplies last. No registration is required, and children of all ages and their families are invited.
