To better serve the growing population of libraries offering events for El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day), also known as Día, the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) released a new Día website, http://dia.ala.org.
The completely redesigned site includes a Día resource guide. The Día resource guide is designed for public and school librarians, giving them everything they need to produce a Día event at their library. Included in the resource guide is a program model, a planning timeline, best practices, outreach, partnerships and marketing and publicity, as well as funding ideas.
In 2012, ALSC is focusing on serving the needs of parents, caregivers and children. To that end, the site has created a new section devoted to ideas and resources for parents, caregivers and children.

Looking for a good book to use with your Latino patrons? The Pura Belpré Award is given each year to books written by Latino authors and illustrated by Latino illustrators that celebrate the Latino cultural experience. The 2012 Pura Belpré Award winners are:
Author Winner
 Under the Mesquite, by Guadalupe Garcia McCall
In “Under the Mesquite,” Garcia McCall, writing in emotionally riveting free verse, gracefully manages to convey the experience of growing up in a bicultural community in Texas with geographical accuracy and a radiating authentic voice for its main protagonist fourteen-year-old Lupita, the oldest of eight children who is dealing with her mother’s terminal illness.
“Garcia McCall deftly communicates not only the experience of a youth losing her mother to cancer but that of a child surrounded by siblings embracing and discarding their Mexican roots in various degrees,” said Naidoo.
