The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., invites children ages 5-10 and their families to celebrate Dia de los Niños/Dia de los Libros or Children's Day/Book Day at the monthly Family Fun Night being held on Wednesday, April 27 from 6:30-7:30pm.

The storytelling will be followed by a children's activity. The event is free and no registration is necessary. Younger siblings are welcome to attend.
El Día de los Niños is a gift from the Latino community to all children. Many nations throughout the world, and especially within the Western hemisphere, celebrate "El Día de los Niños" on April 30th to honor and celebrate children—who represent the hope and dreams of every community.
In the United States, a growing number of cities, schools, libraries, museums, churches and other community organizations are embracing this celebration by planning celebrations and activities reflecting family, community, cultural diversity, and the well-being of children.
On April 30, 1997, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, children's author and poet Pat Mora launched the first collaborative event celebrating both Children's Day and Book Day in an effort to link literacy as being central to the well-being of children. The Dia de los Niños/Dia de los Libros tradition was then picked up by the American Library Association and is now celebrated in libraries across the country.
Questions may be directed to the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, at 262.636.9245.
