Listos Para Aprender

About This Grant

The goal of Listos Para Aprender is to make Multnomah County Library's present Spanish storytimes more culturally appropriate programs that enhance the development of literacy among young Spanish-speaking children ages three to five, and empower parents by raising their awareness about ways to help their children get ready for school. A newly hired part-time Bilingual Library Outreach Specialist (Project Coordinator) will conduct outreach to the Latino community and coordinate a pilot program at three neighborhood libraries serving large numbers of Spanish-speaking families (Troutdale, Midland, Kenton).
