The Marshalltown Public Library was the first library in Iowa to host Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros, with the help of many community partners, and held the event at the library, with hundreds of people attending every year until the pandemic.
We appreciate these ommunity partners who are making Día possible: Big Brothers, Big Sisters; ISU Extension/4H, Animal Rescue League, YMCA/YWCA, Al Exito, NIH, MHS Music, MHS Latin Dance Club, Friends of the Marshalltown Public Library, Immigrant Allies, and more! Special thanks to Luisa and Ramon Ortega for hosting us at Midnight Garden this year.
