The American Library Associaiton’s Public Information Office (PIO) has a great new podcast about the upcoming El día de los niños/El día de los libros on their blog, Visibility @ your library (http://www.pio.ala.org/visibility/?p=577).
The podcast features Linda Mays, ALSC program officer, who discusses Día as an “opportunity to bring attention to the importance and well-being of children as well as their languages and culture.” Held annually each April 30, Día is a national celebration that brings together children, books, languages and cultures, while emphasizing the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
