<p class="MsoNormal">Buenos dias,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>It is time for the REFORMA Oregon Chapter and Round Table's 5th Annual Mock Pura Belpré Awards. Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th from 10-4 at the Kent Taylor Civic Hall in McMinnville!
Please join us for this full-day, free event with guest author Cathy Camper starting off the festivities.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#464646;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white">The Pura Belpré Award, established in 1996, is presented annually to a Latino/Latina writer or illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding
work of literature for children and youth.</span> <span style="background:white">
It was named after Pura Belpré, the first Latina librarian to be hired by the New York Public Library in 1921. She was known as a revolutionary- using an innovative blend of folklore and outreach
</span><span style="background:white">to engage the predominantly Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican children in her area. Through her story times, her puppeteering, and her written works, Belpré set a high standard for how libraries should tailor their programs
and services for the communities and peoples in which they’re located. Her commitment and advocacy to bridge her Puerto Rican community to the library, and vice versa, showcases the roots of critical children’s librarianship and inclusion, and not assimilation,
of marginalized voices into the field. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We continue to honor <span style="background:white">Pura Belpré's</span> legacy by incorporating her principles and values into our own work and by advocating for more inclusive collections at libraries around the state. Every year since
2015, the REFORMA Oregon Round Table of OLA <span style="background:white">hosts the Mock Pura Belpré Award. This is a great opportunity for library staff, who work with Latino and/or Spanish-speaking children, to take part in discussions surrounding that
year's selection of titles and the Pura Belpré Awards criteria. Why do we do this? It's simple: to raise awareness to the importance of more quality children’s literature written and/or illustrated by Latino authors. So that when the children of our communities
walk into our libraries, they find themselves represented in the stories they read.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
