Thank you for joining me on this interesting and exciting journey through the world of blogging.
I hope to create a spot where people can read, post, and share ideas about services to Spanish speakers in rural public libraries. My intention is to create a welcoming spot where we can share discourse about types of programs, services, and resources that can be offered to our Spanish speaking patrons.
While most of my experiences are culled from working in a "suburban" library branch that serves a local community of about 14,000 or so, I look forward to learning more from others. Perhaps programs carried out in larger urban libraries can be tailored to a rural library service model? What are many of our rural public libraries doing to reach out to and embrace all of the citizens?
Do you have a large Latino or Spanish population segment? There is a very large Latino population in Florida.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteIn the Myrtle Beach area we have a growing Latino population. A part of my position entails performing outreach in order to expand services to this group.
Kim, I'm loving your blog. I seriously think you should keep it going after class is over.
