Celebrate El Dia @ CPL!

This week, we are celebrating El Día at CPL!

El Día is a daily celebration of children, families and reading that culminates on April 30th. Día recognizes and respects culture, heritage and language as powerful tools for strengthening families and communities.

Even if you can't make our Día program, you can celebrate families, diversity and literature every day @ your library!
