and granddaughter of immigrant-migrant parents and would like to honor and acknowledge in this space the sacrifices and struggles her mother faced in order for her daughters to be here. Yelitza is passionate about library spaces, rural communities, food equity,
and serving Spanish speakers and immigrant-migrant families. She has been supporting children and families from diverse backgrounds for over 11 years in Oregon. Yelitza believes in the process of building communities and community partnerships by empowering
and uplifting community voices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Greg Williams will take over the position of chair for the board. He has been working in and with public libraries for nearly two decades. After earning his Master
of Library and Information Science degree from the University of Washington, Greg started his library career as an Adult Services Librarian (with a focus on technology) at the West Linn Public Library and then moved to Clackamas County. After serving as Deputy
Director for Clackamas County's Business and Community Services Department, Greg was selected as the Director of the Oregon City Public Library in 2020. In addition to his service on the State Library Board, Greg has also served on other statewide library
boards and committees, including the Oregon Digital Library Consortium and the Oregon Library Association’s Public Library Division. When not working, Greg loves tinkering with his home network, reading (science fiction, mysteries, music, and history), and
spending time with his wife, Julia, and their 16-year-old son, Jake. He is a huge music fanatic who can easily spend hours perusing through the bins in a record store and has a special place in his heart for his all-time favorite band, the Ramones. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

in their design, while Woodburn included “Bookmobile” written in English, Spanish, and Russian along the side. The types of vehicles vary as well. For example, Beaverton has a fully electric van they’ve aptly named “Evie the EV.” Pendleton’s bookmobile is
a trailer that can be hitched to the back of a truck. And Woodburn’s is a large box truck with string lights across the top of the interior. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bochsler had been trying to get an internship with the library in the late 1980s while she was in college, but the timing never worked out with all her classes. Despite that, she still spent a lot of time in the building doing research into her family’s genealogy.

Jennifer. “But Tina Ontiveros structured it so well that I was glad I read it. She had a very clear throughline that conveyed so well her father's love for her and hers for him – even though he was a difficult man to love. I recommend it, especially to folks
who grew up in the Pacific Northwest in the 70s and 80s.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Pacific Northwest, which deepened our understanding of rural communities and their complex history in Oregon. Readers should be advised: content includes graphic depictions of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and animal cruelty. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

find some of the mountain goats said to climb the peaks. Layers of fallen pine needles made the path soft under my feet and the sun passing through the canopy created a green glow that colored my brother’s face beautiful. We climbed gently through old-growth
western red cedar and Doug fir. Dogwood, salmonberry, and Oregon grape grew close to the path. The air was rich in animal chatter and the sweet smell of warm cedar. The whole forest sang and twinkled. Everything was talking, gentle, to everything else.” </span></em><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span style="color:#163686;text-decoration:none">wrote an article</span></b></a> about upcoming equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) trainings offered by the State Library. We’re excited to report that the four-part spring series taught and facilitated
by Christina herself was a great success! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Beginning in February 2023, the State Library of Oregon offered two learning cohorts focusing on EDI in Clackamas County and the northern Oregon Coast. The training
was designed to provide comprehensive EDI education and skills for library staff, volunteers, and advocates. Groups were regional and were kept to about 20 people, focusing on skills and best practices that are critical to introduce lasting and successful
EDI initiatives in small, rural, and conservative communities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The training championed the importance of understanding and incorporating EDI efforts into all aspects of library services and challenged participants to identify
ways in which they could build their skills as strong allies and collaborators. Work in the cohorts was based on the Oregon Library Association's EDI & Antiracism Committee's
<a href="https://oregon.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=91dd1172fce9a235a5e993c03&id=8639145ebf&e=fcfe25ac6a" target="_blank">

which provided opportunities for participants to learn, practice, and apply the concepts presented during the training in their own libraries and communities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The training culminated in each participant creating a professional goal tied to a final implementation project and sharing that with the group at the final session.
“[…] this training helped me to examine my own attitudes that I probably take for granted. How do my attitudes impact others? How can I change them? What parts of my job do they impact?” said one participant. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">This work will continue to reach libraries and their communities across the state in the next year, hopefully with a lasting impact. We’ll continue to support this
valuable work by offering additional trainings for new participants this fall, a follow-up training for all previous participants in the spring of 2024, and a multi-day session in June 2024 specifically for school library staff. Fall cohorts will take place
in McMinnville and Eugene from September through mid-November 2023. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
