Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebration of the people in our lives that we have loved and lost.
One of the most important elements of the festivities is the construction of altars, or ofrendas, that we use to honor and reconnect with the dead.
Denise Leidtka, Director of Marketing & Communications for the SA Public Library Foundation, spoke about her nephew who she honors on the ofrenda. If you can't travel downtown to see the ofrendas, you may find one in your area. The Schaefer Library set up it's own, public, ofrenda celebrating those lost in their area. Branch Manager, Maria Adam, set up the altar as a way to connect with their community. She talked about how the ofrenda has allowed the staff to celebrate the community they serve.
