Children’s Day Special Storytime

Children’s Day in Mexico takes place on April 30, and of course, the Storytimers (volunteers and staff) are preparing a special edition of our great Storytime to celebrate kids and families who visit the library.

On Saturday, April 29th, starting at 10 am, the fun begins with a song and then visiting our “Reading Stations”, where volunteers will be ready to read a story and work with an arts and crafts activity. For this occasion, stories have been chosen to inspire change and healthy growth, based on the Sustainable Development Goals, according to the United Nations. Click here to learn more.

After visiting the “Reading Stations”, let’s gather on the patio for PIÑATA TIME! One by one, we will line up to break the piñata and collect some candies. Take a look at PIÑATA TIME from last year here.

Enjoy breakfast from our cash bar! Pizza, drinks, ice cream, and more snacks will be available for sale during the morning. It’s a whole morning plan.

Did we mention Storytime is free? Well, yes! Even though there is no entrance fee, MEL accepts monetary donations, and now also craft supplies. Craft paper, markers, paints, brushes, glue, googly eyes (we love them) pencil colors, crayons, paper bags, etc. Supplies don’t have to be brand new, but usable.
