Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo or the Fifth of May is a national holiday in Mexico commemorating the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, in which Mexican troops under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the invading French forces of Napoleon III. Although the battle itself represented only a temporary setback for the French, the Mexicans' victory against overwhelming odds gave them the confidence they needed to persevere until finally triumphing on April 2, 1867. The anniversary of this event is celebrated not only in Mexico but in many American communities with large Mexican-American populations—especially in the southwestern states of Texas, Arizona, and southern California. The events include parades, patriotic speeches, bullfights, barbecues, and beauty contests. Olvera Street in Los Angeles is particularly known for its Cinco de Mayo celebration. ~ from CREDO Cultural Studies: Holidays Around the World Go to the Cinco de Mayo guide or see all our Hispanic American, Latin American & Span...

Thanks so much to everyone that helped us celebrate National Library Week!  Throughout the week, the library was buzzing with fun! We hosted a book party, scavenger hunt, Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contest, Guess the Ducks, library vault lockout, Duck Hide ’n Seek, and classic games like Giant Jenga and Connect 4 — plus some seriously great snacks!  Our Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contestants made judging incredibly tough, but the winner was Professor Gwendolyn Barbee‑Yow, who wowed us as Dorian Gray, complete with portrait!  Our Guess the Ducks winner was Shani Johnson, Director of Instructional Support, who also joined the fun dressed as a Detective Inspector.  Check out photos of both winners—and all of our amazing Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contestants—below or see our Book Party photo album.        http://dlvr.it/TSDDLF
