WHO ' S THAT? Lindsay Delaney wears many hats at the Tigard Library. As the youth services bilingual librarian, Lindsay serves kids, teens and families—especially Spanish speakers. She selects children's and teens Spanish books to purchase, presents a bilingual story time, answers questions at the children's desk, visits schools in Tigard and provides Spanish translations for some of the library's publications. She also plans special events like our upcoming Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) program for Spanish and English speakers of all ages. Lindsay is one of the bilingual librarians who help the library fulfill its commitment to serve Spanish- speaking library users. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 1.What do you like best about working here? One of the things I like best about working here is the opportunity to bring the library into the community. Each of the past two summers, I have made weekly visits to two summer free lunch sites for kids. It's a great chance for kids to join the summer reading program and choose books to read. This year, the Friends of the Library generously sponsored an outreach collection of books in Spanish and English. Almost 80 kids and teens took home books during my visits. 2.Why is it important for the library to offer bilingual services? In Tigard, around eight percent of our community speaks Spanish. Bilingual services mean that these community members can enjoy books and media in Spanish, ask questions to bilingual staff and attend bilingual events. These resources are especially important for our youngest community members. Research has shown that kids who learn to read in their first language have a strong foundation for future reading and learning, too. By providing services and materials to children and families in Spanish, we are supporting literacy in our community. Question or comments?
