# Use the component in a template
First load the [`component_tags`][django_components.templatetags.component_tags] tag library, then use the `component_[js/css]_dependencies` and [`component`][django_components.templatetags.component_tags.do_component] tags to render the component to the page.
```htmldjango
{% load component_tags %}
My example calendar
{% component_css_dependencies %}
{% component "calendar" date="2015-06-19" %}{% endcomponent %}
{% component_js_dependencies %}
```
The output from the above template will be:
```html
My example calendar
Today's date is 2015-06-19
```
This makes it possible to organize your front-end around reusable components. Instead of relying on template tags and keeping your CSS and Javascript in the static directory.
