D?a de los Ni?os is a multicultural experience for young children and their families celebrated in libraries all over California and throughout the US. It focuses on inclusion and promotes culture, language and books for multicultural/multilingual families. Many libraries lack the resources to engage with local families as part of D?a de los Ni?os/D?a de los Libros. Provision of seed funding will assist the Corona Public Library (CPL) in creating our own D?a de los Ni?os/D?a de los Libros events and activities. CPL is one of 100 libraries throughout the state to be awarded a $500 grant for multicultural programming materials and resources through this funding opportunity.
