Libros for Oregon: Collections Connect Communities

About This Grant

This grant will create a program for Oregon libraries to collaborate on Spanish collection development and implement outreach activities. The program will send representatives to the Feria Internacional del Libro (FIL) in Guadalajara to purchase high quality Spanish-language books for participating libraries, will help libraries to develop and implement outreach plans for working with their Hispanic communities, and create a “Best of FIL” booklist for all Oregon libraries to use in collection development. Year 1 will focus on setting up a sustainable program infrastructure.
