Dia de los Muertos, celebrated on Nov. 1-2, honors deceased loved ones through vibrant traditions. Libraries celebrate with ofrendas, activities, and storytelling, fostering community connection.
The altars, or ofrendas, crafted by the Contra Costa County Libraries, serve as beautiful remembrances filled with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, and family photos that truly honor those who have passed.
Hands-on activities during Dia de los Muertos, such as creating papel picado and decorating sugar skulls, allow participants to delve deeper into the holiday's rich significance and cultural heritage.
Elba Iris Perez's debut novel illustrates the struggle between cultural identities through the eyes of children navigating life in two distinct worlds, reflecting the theme of finding one's path in a blended society.
