Book Tasting
Día de Los Niños began in Mexico in 1925 as a day to nationally honor children. In 1996 author and poet, Pat Mora, learned of the holiday and realizing that the United States had nothing similar, decided to create a day that not only celebrates children but also literacy and bilingualism. A new holiday was born known as El día de los niños/El día de los libros. Since then, Book Fiestas have been held nationwide in April to celebrate "bookjoy" and the importance of literacy for all children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

About the branch
Considered to be one of the finest Carnegie Libraries in the West, this 8,900 square foot library has two levels. Since its opening in 1918, it has been an important part of city services to Westside residents. The Chapman Branch was completely renovated, including an updated HVAC, following the collapse of the roof during 1993. A major remodel of the basement level meeting space in 2002 resulted in a much improved children's area and expanded service and collection space for adults on the ground level. A small meeting room is available for public use, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library. Street parking is available to the south of the building, and an external book drop is located on the east side of the building for returning library materials after hours.
