Applications for this year’s Libros for Oregon cohort are now open! It’s easy to apply<https://www.librosfororegon.org/apply>!



Libros for Oregon (LfO) is a project that sends representatives to the Guadalajara Book Fair<https://www.fil.com.mx/ingles/i_info/i_info_fil.asp> annually on behalf of a cooperative of Oregon public and school libraries, to buy culturally appropriate books for their collections and communities. Participating libraries only need to contribute $200 toward travel costs, in addition to money for materials from their selection budget. Participating libraries will plan three outreach or other activities to connect new books with their communities. Programming ideas are available on our website!


LfO has applied for a LSTA grant prioritizing small and rural libraries serving communities of 15% or more Latinos. If funded, LfO will donate approximately $1,000 in Spanish language materials, with an additional $400 for cataloging and processing to 10 selected libraries!


Know folks living in an Oregon community whose library could benefit from participating in this project?
