Posadas are a December holiday celebrations that take place in México, El Salvador, Honduras and Spain. They have evolved into a yearly celebration that schools, neighborhoods and work companies can celebrate. The idea is that 1 person or group throws a party and the next day, some else continues. For the library, the idea is to have libraries with Spanish collections to host a posada and move the festivities from one branch to another.

Las Posadas se celebran en México, El Salvador, Honduras y España en diciembre. Las fiestas han evolucionado a ser celebraciones anuales donde escuelas, vecindarios y compañías puedan festejar. La idea es que una persona o grupo hace una fiesta y al otro día alguien más la continúa. Para la Biblioteca de San Francisco la idea es que cada una de sus sucursales con colecciones en Español sean anfitriones de una posada.
