Odell Outreach: Reaching Out to Hood River County's Adult Spanish Speakers

About This Grant

Hood River County has a large and historically-underserved Spanish-speaking population, especially in the community of Odell in the Hood River Valley. Hood River County Library District will better serve Spanish-speakers by expanding the hours and scope of its outreach librarian. Currently shared half-time at another agency, this individual would be brought on full-time at the library for two years. With expanded hours, they would coordinate and deliver literacy services in the county with a special emphasis on Odell by bringing together stakeholders in literacy, expanding offerings, publicizing within the community, and bringing regular library service to Odell.
