Community Altar for Day of the Dead

Ofrenda Comunidad de
Diá de Los Muertos

Honor loved ones who have passed with a community Día de Los Muertos Altar at either the Main Library or Children’s Branch.

Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an ancient, Mexican and Mexican American holiday, with a historically rich tradition that integrates pre-Columbian and Catholic customs. It is often celebrated in Mexico on November 1st and 2nd. The celebrations are based on the belief that the souls of the ones gone can come back to this world on these days. 

The Day of the Dead Altars also known as Ofrendas are the most prominent feature in the celebration because they show the souls the way to their home. Altars make the souls (animas) feel welcomed and show them they have not been forgotten. OFPL invites the local community to add photos, messages, and symbolic items to our Altar or “Ofrenda” during the month of October.
