In conjunction with National Library Week and El dia de los niños/el dia de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day), Washoe County libraries present “Journey of the Drum” by Liz Broscoe AKA the Drumchik. Combining narration, performance and audience participation, Liz will convey the use and purpose of drumming from ancient times to present day.

Latin America comes alive with exciting music from Cuerdas de Fuego (“Strings of Fire”). Paraguayan harp master Ramon Romero and Cuban percussionist Carlos Caro perform the lively and descriptive music of their homelands, providing a musical tour of South America, Mexico and Cuba.

The public is invited to attend U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization ceremonies at Downtown Reno and Sierra View libraries. A tour of the library will precede each ceremony, and a patriotic song will follow.
