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.

Assemblymember Coto will be giving away free books and reading during Story Time.  “We cannot emphasize enough, the significance of good reading skills. They are critical for success in school and life.  We need to take every opportunity to reinforce their importance and work with our children to develop their abilities,” said Coto, a former educator.  This event is intended to bring families to the library for a fun day with the goal of making reading and trips to the library a habit.
