             As we live in a digital age, Tulsa City-County Library
             knows it is vital to keep relevant in these rapidly
             changing technological times and that it is imperative
             to provide our customers with the tools necessary to
             thrive in the 21st century.

             According to the American Library Association’s Digital
             Literacy Task Force, digital literacy is “the ability to use
             information and communication technologies to find,
             evaluate, create and communicate information, requiring
             both cognitive and technical skills.”

ARTÍCULO DESTACADO

Los Orígenes
del Día de
los Muertos
El Día de los Muertos es una tradición
principalmente mexicana donde
las familias dan la bienvenida a las
almas de sus familiares fallecidos.
Una mezcla de ritual mesoamericano,
religión europea y cultura española,
la festividad se celebra cada año
del 31 de octubre al 2 de noviembre.
Mientras que el 31 de octubre es
Halloween, el 1 de noviembre es "el Día
de los Inocentes", o el Día de los Niños,
y Todos los Santos. El 2 de noviembre
es el Día de los Difuntos o el Día de los
Muertos.

Según tradición, los seres queridos
que han fallecido regresan a la
medianoche el 31 de octubre y los
espíritus de los niños pueden reunirse
con sus familias durante 24 horas. Los
espíritus de los adultos pueden hacer
lo mismo el 2 de noviembre.
