Dia de los Ninos/Dia de los Libros (Day of the Child/Day of the Book) is an enhancement of Children's Day, which began in 1925. Children's Day was designated as a day to bring attention to the importance and well-being of children. Dia brings families together and emphasizes the importance of literacy for every child regardless of linguistic or cultural background. Hundreds of libraries, schools and communities throughout the country will host celebrations and programs that honor multiculturalism and stress the importance of books and literacy.
