The Santa Fe Public Library celebrates the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos with the community this October and November.

Join us in placing pictures of departed loved ones, letters to those we have lost, and other keepsakes on our community ofrendas (altars) in their honor. This practice of ancestral veneration and healing will continue throughout October at all Santa Fe Public Library locations.

To submit a story or photo, email [email protected] or bring photos, stories and other items to one of the library information desks.
