The holiday of Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. The victory was a glorious moment for Mexican patriots, and at the time it helped develop a needed sense of national unity.
Also, the library continued the celebration by offering a Cinco de Mayo teen craft program on Saturday, May 5, in the Main Library’s second-floor meeting room. Participants made fiesta mosaic magnets featuring colorful symbols of Mexico, such as the sun, chile peppers and sombreros. Those in attendance also learned about the history of the Cinco de Mayo holiday and Mexican culture.
