Library Services to Youth of Hispanic Heritage


This is a book that I will keep in my reference collection. It is packed with trial and error reports, good advice, and valuable resources. It is actually a series of essays gathered by the Trejo Foster Foundation for Hispanic Library Education. The essays are aranged by topics: Programs, Collections, Planning and Evaluating, Bibliographical Resources, and For the Future. Many ideas can be gleaned from this and there is also an excellent annotated bibliography. I especially enjoyed the thoughtful ideas about how to contact people in the community and what to offer them to bring them to the library. There were great sources on how to build a collection including titles, authors and publishers.
