About Día
Día de los Niños is a popular Mexican and Latin American holiday, recognizing the importance and influence of children in society. In 1996, the first Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros was started by author Pat Mora in New Mexico with Support from REFORMA, The National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking community. Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros brought together the idea of honoring children and promoting their literacy by celebrating their language, culture and books. Since then, the celebration has grown nationally and has been observed by the San Francisco Public Library since 1999.
Día is presented in partnership by San Francisco Public Library, Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, San Francisco Department of Early Childhood, KQED and PNC. It brings together community organizations with a passion for literacy and youth including Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, Jumpstart, KQED, San Francisco Department of Early Childhood, Tandem Partners in Learning, Wu Yee Children's Services and the San Francisco Early Literacy Network.
