The Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICfL) is partnering with the Meridian Library District and other organizations to bring their annual Día de los Niños event to the city of Meridian for the first time ever! Please join us at a block party-style celebration of children, families, and literacy at the Pinnacle Library. Participants will be able to enjoy connecting with various community organizations, enjoying Spanish English Storytimes and other live performances, creating cultural art, playing games, entering raffles, dining at food trucks, and more!
History of Día de los Niños:
"El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day), often known as Día, is a celebration of children, families, and reading that culminates every year on April 30. Celebrated since 1925 throughout Mexico, Día emphasizes the importance of literacy and reading fun for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds through bilingual storytimes, family literacy fairs, community events, and other programs that encourage family reading and increased understanding of other cultures."
