<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The references to the Guadalajara International Book Fair bring to mind a model that might benefit Oregon libraries. Years ago, libraries in the Bay Area, through
the cooperative, Bay Area Library and Information System (BALIS), sent a small delegation to purchase for the consortium members that wished purchases made for them. Bibliotecas para la Gente (BPLG), the northern CA chapter of Reforma (who were also staff
of the member libraries and included bilingual and bilingual/bicultural professional and paraprofessional staff in No CA) helped organize the selection profiling before the trip. It was very successful and the purchase amount became greater and greater each
year, with more libraries joining in each year because it made a remarkable improvement in local and the region’s collections. BALIS served as the fiscal agent so that each library didn’t have to set up a P.O.—BALIS issued the P.O. and billed back those libraries
that participated. This occurred for many years—perhaps still does. It was a great, grass-roots solution to the extreme challenge of developing collections for children and adults whose first language is Spanish and who are from Mexico and Central and South
American countries. The libraries shared the costs of travel for the delegation (added to the bill for the participating libraries but shared)and the delegation makeup rotated, with some carryover from the previous year. Being one of the delegates became
an honored role because the delegation was representing a body of libraries. There were many beneficial results—more collections, better collections, improved collection savvy across the region, staff development and interlibrary cooperation, and especially
being at the table in Guadalajara—influencing the market and the trade. Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process. The
preparation beforehand (led by BPLG and including selectors from the participating libraries) raised the bar and the buy-in throughout the region. Are Oregon libraries already doing a version of this? Might they?

at the moon thinking any significant number of libraries can send someone to Reforma Conferences let alone Mexico. Most of us never go to Book Expo or even NPBA. We are lucky to have money to send staff to our state conferences.

I thought that was the highest honor that an artist could aspire to. Not when it comes to having your books at the library. It seems that libraries in general are tied to a system where they can only buy products from the “official” and “traditional” industry,
which is run of course by the big media empire. Sadly, our so called “Latino culture”, image and products are established by this big machine; for them “Latino culture” is just a commercial opportunity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">– To that respect, it will be interesting to ask our community what makes them Latinos, and if they
ever read a book by a Latino author -- asking them if they read a book in Spanish will be perhaps expecting too much.

and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our “core beliefs” and don’t be afraid of making a point. Racism is embedded, permeated, in a minority of the planet’s population (yes, white people, including myself, even when I’m Latino). Racism
is the tool of the privileged to perpetuate power. Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole).
