The Florida Department of State, State Library and Archives of Florida is encouraging libraries statewide to participate in El día de los niños/El día de los libros, a nationwide celebration of children and books, in April 2008. Florida's program, Celebrate Children—Celebrate Books, will connect children from all languages and cultures with books, and encourage celebrations statewide throughout the month of April. Celebrate Children—Celebrate Books will honor children, their languages, and cultures; encourage reading and literacy; and promote library collections and programs that reflect our diversity. We are very excited about this celebration of children and how their lives are impacted by reading.
