What is Día?

Día is a daily commitment to link all children to books, languages and cultures. It was founded in 1996 by author Pat Mora and is now housed at the American Library Association. Culminating Día celebrations are held across the country on or near April 30th.

Fall 2008    Books & PJs
 Books + PJs = Bookjoy, right? An easy way to promote the daily habit of family reading is to encourage a concrete cue: getting ready for bed = time to read before going to sleep. Start this campaign at your home, school or library.

Plan a 2009 Día Celebration at your Library or School
