El día de los libros

Children's Book Day

Celebrate children's literacy and Spanish-speaking island culture with a bilingual storytime, movement and dancing to Caribbean music, games, crafts, free books, treats, and cake!

El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), commonly known as Día, is a celebration of children, families, and reading that culminates yearly on April 30. The celebration emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

It is a daily commitment to linking children and their families to diverse books, languages, and cultures. The common goals of Día are to:

  • Introduce families to community resources that provide opportunities for learning through multiple literacies.
  • Recognize and respect culture, heritage, and language as powerful tools for strengthening families and communities.

¡Celebra la alfabetización infantil y las culturas de las islas hispanohablantes del Caribe con una hora del cuento bilingüe, movimiento y baile a la música caribeña, juegos, manualidades, libros gratis, refrigerios y pastel!

About the branch

This beautiful facility was designed to complement the Rose Park neighborhood with sensitivity to its site on the Jordan River Parkway. An open space plan, with a large community meeting room and outside deck area, will accommodate this growing community for many years.

The south property of the Day-Riverside Branch is home to TreeUtah's EcoGarden, a "food forest" where all members of the community can learn about urban farming and organic gardening. The Day-Riverside Branch has a meeting room available for public use that features tables, chairs, a projector screen, and a piano.

Free parking is available to the west of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
