Arlington Public Library is inviting residents to honor their loved ones by submitting photos for this year\u2019s D\u00eda de los Muertos Ofrenda, a communal altar celebrating the lives of those who have passed.<\/p>\n

D\u00eda de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a traditional holiday that commemorates family and friends who have died. Families often create personal altars, or ofrendas, decorated with marigolds, favorite foods, and photographs of their loved ones. The library\u2019s community ofrenda aims to bring together the stories and memories of residents in a shared display.<\/p>\n

How to participate:<\/p>\n


\nComplete the submission form<\/a>.
\nEmail a photo of your loved one to Alaniz Gonzalez at alaniz.gonzalez@arlingtontx.gov<\/a>
\nSubmissions accepted from Monday, Sept. 14, through Friday day, Oct. 9. Late submissions may not be included.
\nProvide the clearest photo possible; scanned images are preferred. <\/p>\n

The completed ofrenda will be on display starting Oct. 12 at the Southeast Branch, 900 S.E. Green Oaks Blvd., Arlington, TX 76018.<\/p>\n
