Dia de Los Niños/Dia de Los Libros

UNM-Taos Library is gearing up for its annual Dia de Los Niños/Dia de Los Libros event which is a celebration of children, books and diversity. The celebration emphasizes the importance of advocating literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Every year we try to team up with a different school in our community to celebrate this nationwide day of learning and sharing. This year we are celebrating Dia with our very own UNM-Taos Kid’s Campus and 7th graders from the The COOP, a private school in downtown Taos.

The theme for this year’s event is Earth Day, so we will be reading books about gardening followed by Earth-friendly activities for the kids. Dia will take place on Tuesday, May 7th from 9am-1pm at the UNM-Taos Kid’s Campus.

HOWL

It has been a long couple of months, but the voice of our community is finally going to be heard by all. The HOWL book release event is going to be held atTaos Mesa Brewing on May the 5th, in order to show the work and thoughts of our community be held together by only a spine and a few pieces of paper (amazing, right?). The event begins at 4pm, so invite family and friends and come relax for an evening with refreshments, music, fine art and melt-in-your-mouth literature.
