Families with young childrenjoined us at our West Perry Branch on Saturday, April 25, 2026 for our annual celebration of language and literacy! Activities included concerts, storytimes in English and Spanish, games, art, and more! VIsitors were able to meet Daniel Tiger and there were free books and giveaways for every child!
Donatations of new or opened diapers were also collection to support the Indiana Diaper Bank. See more information about what and how to donate.
Made possible by The Indianapolis Foundation Library Fund through a grant to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
This annual event is in partnership with WFYI and is supported by PNC Grow Up Great and Fred Rogers Productions. We look forward to seeing you next year!
We are thankful for our community partner, Child Care Answers.
El Día de Los Niños: Day of the Child
Celebrated in Mexico since around 1925, the philosophy of "this day" honestly, is magical all year long. El día de los niños honors home language, the beauty of childhood, the magic of culture and reading aloud. Here are a few books we like for fun and some for sharing culture. We love that our collection also has many of the titles available in Spanish, too! Find a new read aloud to share!
Alma and How She Got Her Name
Adorable book that illustrates the love and honor of relatives and ancestors and how and why Alma was named.
My Papi Has A Motorcycle
PURE JOY! I love the story and the art.
Where Are You From?
Sweet beautiful answers to a question that is oft asked to humans of color. Affirming and and loving.
