As it prepares for the April 30 celebration of El día de los niños/El día de los libros, better-known as Día, the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is offering “Countdown to Día.”
For one month, ALSC will post a new idea for youth librarians celebrating Día at their libraries. The ideas will be posted to Día’s official Facebook page. Sharing your own Día ideas on the page is highly encouraged!
Sneak peak? Well, okay:
One great idea for all librarians and children’s literature enthusiasts is to sign up for Día 101: Everything you need to know about celebrating El día de los niños/El día de los libros. The course will take place on Friday, April 1, 2011 at 1 PM CST. This one-hour webinar will present the history of Día as well as ways to make the local Día celebrations exciting and educational. The course is taught by Beatriz Pascual Wallace of the Seattle Public Library.
