This display was inspired by the "Dia de Muertos" (Day of the Dead), which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd in Mexico.
This year, the book selection features works by one of the most representative artists associated with this day: José Guadalupe Posada, author of the renowned calavera, "Catrina."
The 2023 display was selected by Maria Amor, Latin American Language & Cultures Librarian.
Special thanks to Elia Jarman, as always!!
