El Día de los Niños at Library on April 30

El Día de los Niños, or the Day of the Children is a gift from the Latino community to all children. Many nations celebrate "Día de los Niños" on April 30 to honor and celebrate children.

In the United States, a growing number of cities, schools, libraries, museums, churches and other community organizations are embracing this celebration by planning events designed to capture children's imaginations, involve family and community, and inspire new generations of achievers.

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is hosting a Día de los Niños celebration on Wednesday, April 30, from 6-8 p.m. with a special performance by Mad Science of Milwaukee, bilingual storytelling, science activities, crafts, and refreshments. The program is free and open to all; no registration is required.

Mad Science of Milwaukee presents science-themed shows designed to amaze young audiences. Highly interactive, educational and entertaining, the program offers children experiences such as foggy dry ice storms, floating on a Mad Science hovercraft, watching a foam factory at work and more.

Questions about this and future children's programs may be directed to the Racine Public Library at 262.636.9245.
