¡Día!/Children's Day/Book Day

Bilingual Books to Read to Your Children

El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), commonly known as Día, is a celebration every day of children, families and reading that culminates yearly on April 30. The celebration emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. What better way to celebrate this than reading bilingual books to children?

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrated on the fifth day of May each year. You can't go out to celebrate this year, but you can celebrate at home! You can make maracas and a piñata using household items.

Storybook Characters Come Alive

Book-o-ween at Lamond-Riggs

WOW! It was just last month at this time we were inundated with super heroes, princesses and every kind of storybook character. It was the bee’s knees, even the Very Hungry Caterpillar came to Lamond-Riggs Library! All of the familiar storybook characters came to the library to celebrate Book-O-Ween.

Preserve Your Family Memories with DCPL's Memory Lab

It’s a human tendency to hang on to sentimental memorabilia, items that remind us of significant memories and special times, even if those items may no longer be as accessible and usable as we would like.
