We also have news from REFORMA’s Southeast chapter that we want to share. The winners of the first Sara Howrey El día de los niños/El día de los libros Mini-Grant are the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library of Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Thomas B. Norton Public Library of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Charlotte Mecklenburg’s theme for this year is Día as “Diversity in Action” and the Norton Library will be holding it’s first Día celebration.
