At the Elena Poniatowska Children’s Library, we want our users aged 0 to 17 and their families to find printed literature that interests and pleases them, both in Spanish and English. Currently the majority of our collection is in English, but we aim to expand our collection in Spanish and bilingual. Therefore, we extend an invitation to the community to visit us and donate books in Spanish so that more children can enjoy reading in this beautiful language.
The task we have ahead fills us with excitement but requires hard work. Just as we clean and organize our homes to receive guests, that’s precisely what we’ve been doing at the library. We appreciate our volunteers, Terra Omni, who support us with user assistance and collection organization on Tuesdays from 4 to 6 in the afternoon, and the Kazemis, who assist the library two to three times a week with collection organization.
If you wish to narrate a book or tell a story to our children, participate as a volunteer, donate books for children and teens, or share any questions, please write to bep-infantil@palapasociety.org, and I will gladly assist you.
