Abstract | abstract | text | Project abstract. | Expand impact and outreach efforts to engage Latinx community members, seniors, and low-income community members in rural Hood River County. Provide equitable access to reading technology for the community by offering a variety of launchpads, wonder books, and Playaway prerecorded books for patrons. The Expanding Opportunities Program seeks to meet the needs of citizens looking to improve their lives in the areas of education, employability, and entrepreneurship; specifically by partnering with service providers and delivering information literacy workshops on resources available through the libraries. Year 1 of the program emphasized program setup and needs assessment. Year 2 is expanding offerings to meet the information literacy needs of the target audience. Year 3 will be about refining and replicating the program, and will include assessment of Year 3 partner needs, further development of the Library Ambassadors, development and delivery of four new presentations, exploration of new ideas for extending the reach of the library and mitigating the digital divide, and packaging of the program for replication. Promote an inclusive academic library environment by developing a knowledge organization system that dismantles systems of oppression enforced by traditional Eurocentric classification schemas, updating collections to be more reflective of the global majority, and providing technology that bridges the digital divide and affords all students access to advanced technology and/or distance learning courses. The objective of the Ready to Learn project is to address Oregon’s 40/20/20 Vision by addressing early childhood education. Year one of Project Ready to Learn is currently underway and being managed by a Program Coordinator, three Outreach Staff Workers and a coalition of public libraries and partners in Union, Umatilla, Grant, Baker and Wallowa Counties. Ready to Learn library cards have been issued to families of children birth through age five. Each time a book is checked out or a library program is attended children accrue $.02 per activity. The accumulated credits are being deposited into an Oregon College Savings Plan Account connecting early learning and kindergarten readiness with college attendance as an end goal. In addition to incentivizing library use, monthly newsletters and early learning objectives are the focus of programs of quarterly parent trainings. Kindergarten Readiness Assessment scores will be compared with non-Ready to Learn participants upon completion of the program. view top 100 |
