Sat • Apr 11 • 2-4 p.m. • Clark Pleasant Branch
Families are invited to attend our Celebrate Día program, a festival celebrating children’s books from around the world at our Clark Pleasant Branch Library.
Throughout the afternoon, enjoy:
- Live cultural performances
- Making crafts
- Eating snacks
- Multilingual storytime
Join us for storytime as Indiana Author Rebecca Mullin reads her books in English before being translated by bilingual patrons in Spanish and Punjabi. After storytime, watch local dancers perform traditional Folklorico dance, work on a craft, visit Spanish and Punjabi speaking countries through our Virtual Reality experience, try new foods and learn something new about Spanish and Punjabi cultures with our international neighbors. You will also have the chance to try our new library offering: LOTE4Kids, an online bilingual storytime in over 100 languages.
Author visit sponsored by Indiana Humanities.
El día de los niños/El día de los libros — in English that’s Children’s Day/Book Day — also known as Día, is an international celebration of children, families and reading. Putting an emphasis on promoting literacy in all children, Día connects children to books from different cultures and languages.
If you’re not able to make it to our Celebrate Día event, JCPL offers a range of language services from bilingual books, a new children's database of digital books in World Languages called LOTE4Kids and online language learning: Learn more about JCPL's Language Resources
