Presenter: Laura Kimberly, Newport Public Library

Description
Libros for Oregon (LfO) began in 2016 as an LSTA grant-supported collaboration, and in 2018 became a committee of the Oregon Library Association’s REFORMA Oregon. LfO’s purpose is to support Spanish-language collection development in Oregon libraries — particularly in small and rural libraries — by:

1) Making the resources of the Guadalajara Book Fair (FIL) more accessible through cooperative book-buying; and

2) Aiding participating libraries in the development and implementation of outreach plans for connecting with their Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities.

We would like to let more libraries know about Libros for Oregon and how we strive to improve access for Spanish-speaking Oregonians statewide to high-quality, culturally relevant collections.
