Celebrate Día de Los Muertos (November 1-2) by creating and decorating your own shoebox altar in the Library's Makerspace. Learn to craft tissue paper flowers and mini papel picado—we'll provide all materials. Please bring one or more printed photos of loved ones who have passed that you'd like to honor.
Completed altars will be displayed at the Ethnic & Gender Studies Collection (2nd Floor, Ocean Side) from October 29-November 3.
