The Rebecca Crown Library is taking an active role in celebrating el Día de los Muertos on campus. Check out our upcoming events and resources:

  • In collaboration with the Organization of Latin American Students, the library is hosting a celebration of the traditional holiday of "Día de los Muertos", Day of the Dead. The Calaveritas & Velitas event will have 3-d printed skull painting, champurrado, face painting and a photo booth.

     

  • The Rebecca Crown Library is also one of the locations of University Ministry's ofrendas which will be highlighted in the Día de los Muertos Celebration Event. University Ministry welcome you to drop-off photos of your deceased loved ones and friends at the University Ministry Center. They will place all photos on our ofrendas. If you would like for your photos to be returned once our celebration have concluded, please make sure to write your name and email address somewhere behind the photo.

 

  • If you want to learn more about Día de los Muertos, The Rebecca Crown Library has also curated resource guides both in Spanish and in English. These guides contain information and history about Día de los Muertos, information about ofrendas (alters), and also has fun videos and recopies for making your own sugar skulls!

     

  •  We also want to highlight our ever growing Spanish Language Collection. You can also request that we add new materials if there is a book you are dying to read.
