This fun event promotes literacy for children of all cultures and languages, with books and activities for the whole family. Every child who attends will get a free book to take home, helping to encourage a love of reading, according to the Yolo County.
"Día champions the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds and fosters connections between children and families, weaving a rich tapestry of books, languages, and cultures," shared County Librarian and Chief Archivist Diana Lopez in a statement obtained by the Yolo County website.
