Happy Friday!

Are you interested in acquiring strategies for building relationships with your local Latino/a community as well as learning about resources for collection development to better serve your Spanish speaking community's needs?

If so, then please consider signing up for the REFORMA OR<http://reformaoregon.weebly.com/> OLA Pre-Conference workshop "La Comunidad Latina y Tu Biblioteca / The Latino/a Community and Your Library: Strategies for Building Relationships and Resources for Collection Development"!

OLA Conference Registration https://orlib17.wordpress.com/register/

Wednesday, April 19th 1:00pm - 5:00pm

Cost: $50

What you'll learn and who should attend:


*        You'll learn about a variety of resources to develop your library collections to match the needs of your communities, including information on the "Libros for Oregon" project that plans for an Oregon library book-buying cooperative for the International Book Fair in Guadalajara and how your library can participate.

*        Attendees may include librarians who are currently working with Latino/a communities, are just beginning the process of reaching out, or would like to begin, but are unsure how to do so.

*        Whether you are new librarian within your community or a long-time resident, are a non-Spanish speaker or are fluent in Spanish, this session will offer you an opportunity to connect with members of an active organization that can support you, year round.

*        The workshop will include time for you to brainstorm ideas and develop action items to apply the information learned so you will be better equipped to serve your Spanish speaking and Latino/a communities.

*        For more information about the workshop and the presenters: OLA Conference Website: REFORMA OR Workshop<https://ola2017.sched.com/event/9FdP/la-comunidad-latina-y-tu-biblioteca-the-latinoa-community-and-your-library-strategies-for-building-relationships-and-resources-for-collection-development>
