Good news for twenty rural libraries throughout Oregon state...thanks in part to the "Amo Leer" Grant from the Oregon Library Association, the libraries each received approximately 700 Spanish Language children's books. The materials received included children's classics in Spanish language and bilingual story books. An article featured in the November 25th edition of The Statesman Journal highlighted Stayton Public Library's new collection. Check out the link below to see the news item:
What better way to reach out to a generally underserved population than by hosting a celebration and conducting programs based on the new collection! What are some of your ideas? Have you or a colleague implemented a Spanish language story hour? How about a bilingual story time?
