Serving Latino Communities: Best Practices and Advice

September 21, 2012 - 3:00pm - 4:15pm

Westin Pershing NS

A fast-paced and interactive session! Eight REFORMA librarians representing a variety of different library types and locations will talk about their best practices for involving the Latino community in library services. Using the Lightning Talk format, each presenter will have 20 slides and 15 seconds per slide to talk about their best practices and innovations in serving the Latino community. After the talks, we’ll have a Q&A session in which audience members will direct the conversation and ask the questions that will help them implement effective practices in their own libraries.
