The Chula Vista Public Library invites the community to participate in its celebration of Día del Niño (Children’s Day) thanks to a grant received from the California State Library. Día del Niño is a multicultural celebration that promotes literacy, culture, language, and books in our multicultural/multilingual community. This year, the free celebration will include two special bilingual story times (one Spanish/English and another in Tagalog/English) and a main event that will be in Spanish/English on April 30.
