Join us here at East Mountain Library to celebrate Dia de los Niños with guest storytime reader Donna King of Red Nose Readers and a craft for all ages!

It is our hope that this experience will prevent children from forming a fear of clowns, show them that it’s okay to be different and creative, and encourage a love of reading. Red Nose Readers believes that exposure to a real clown early in a child’s life gives them the understanding that there is an actual person underneath the makeup. Building that awareness and sensitivity to a person’s feelings may help them think twice about judging by appearances.

Participating children will receive a free book, courtesy of the Friends for the Public Library.

Dia de los Niños is a celebration of children,  families, and reading that emphasizes the importance of literacy for children from all backgrounds.
