Día de Los Muertos
Día de Los Muertos is a Mexican holiday honoring family and friends who have passed on. The community celebrates their loved ones through art, family activities, and more.
This year, the Burton Barr Central Library commemorates the Día de Los Muertos holiday with a festive and informative exhibit in the @Central Gallery. On display are nichos (cigar box mini altars) created by staff from throughout the library system. Visitors can post a note of remembrance on the glowing Community Altar and view posters describing the history and meaning of the celebration while surrounded by paper decorations, like papel picado banners and tissue paper marigolds.
In the Children’s and Teen spaces make a craft and view displays that highlight and celebrate this festive holiday tradition!
Visit the Arizona Room to view selected books, artifacts, and nichos specific to the topic and Arizona’s history!
Search for clues that will lead to the various Día de Los Muertos displays to complete a scavenger hunt and collect a prize on the 5th floor!
