Assemblymember Joe Coto and the San José Hillview Public Library branch are inviting families to join them for a Cinco de Mayo Family Celebration event this weekend.  The day’s events include: story time, performances by Los Mestizos Folklorico dancers, refreshments, crafts, games, piñatas, free books and other give-aways.

“ Reading is such a critical skill for success in school and life.  We need to take every opportunity to reinforce its importance and work with our children to develop good reading skills. This event is intended to bring families to this beautiful new library facility for a fun day with the hope that it will be the first of many days that they will spent at the library with their children,” said Coto, a former educator. The San José Hillview Public Library has just been remodeled and it offers a wide range of interactive activities to encourage reading and help develop reading skills for all ages.
