[ARNOLD Renea W]

Hi, all.
 I just wanted to alert you of this DVD in Chinese, Vietnamese, and
Russian, in case you'd like to use it in your RFHF outreach. Go to
multcolib.org and click on Languages under Explore. Or go to
http://www.multcolib.org/services/languages/ and select the language you
need.

Multnomah County Library launches multilingual video series. 
In response to Multnomah County's growing linguistic diversity,
Multnomah County Library has created Welcome to the Library, an online
video series in Chinese, Russian and Vietnamese that introduces speakers
of these languages to the many services offered by the public library. 
DVD sets of the Welcome to the Library series are being provided to all
public library systems in Oregon for use in their own outreach work. 
Viewable from the library's website <http://www.multcolib.org/> , the
Chinese <http://www.multcolib.org/services/languages/chinese.html> ,
Russian <http://www.multcolib.org/services/languages/russian.html>  and
Vietnamese <http://www.multcolib.org/services/languages/vietnamese.html>
versions of Welcome to the Library parallel each other in content, with
eight chapters that focus on useful information such as how to get a
library card and how to use a library computer. All three are also
cataloged as DVDs that can be checked out from the library, and are
posted on YouTube

Featuring the library's bilingual staff and community volunteers,
Welcome to the Library is the latest effort of the library's Target
Language Initiative
<http://www.multcolib.org/services/languages/history.html> , which
provides culturally effective library services and information to
speakers of the four most frequently used languages in Multnomah County
(after English). 
Creation of the Welcome to the Library series was supported in part by
the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library
Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.
