color=#0000ff>Hello! I just received the following email about the El
día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) 2010. Dia
is an annual celebration for children, families, books, and reading.
What types of events do libraries have to celebrate Dia? I recently heard
from a librarian who is planning 6 stations, one for each early literacy
skill, and providing 'passports' for kids to take around to each station.
When they complete an activity they receive a stamp in their
passport. Children who travel to all 6 stations get a free book! Dia
events don't have to be this grand, some are just a special storytime with a
craft and refreshments.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

encourage them to attend. I see that 3 Oregon libraries are already
registered! Keep checking back to as we get closer to Dia because more
libraries will be registering their events in the coming weeks. Or call
your local library to find out if they are celebrating Dia, and what they are
doing. Here is a link to the online Oregon Library Directory where you can
find phone numbers, addresses, and a link to Google maps for directions to your
