This post is a bit of a diversion, having nothing to do with libraries and everything to do with multicultural Birmingham.
Just in time for the Halloween season comes the Bare Hands Gallery Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) festival, Tuesday November 2, 5-10 p.m. This street fair/art and culture festival is a one-day celebration honoring the Hispanic, and primarily Mexican celebration known as Dia de los Muertos. The event site states: "The annual commemoration at Bare Hands combines community art installation and procession with remembrance, creativity, performance, music and food to highlight rich cultural tradition yielding an exquisite downtown arts and cultural event."
While you're downtown, stop at the Makarios Kabob house at 940 20th Street South (http://www.makarioskabob.com/) for some delicious Middle Eastern fare. (Burgers and fries are also served, but why limit yourself?)
