<p><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language
storytime. It’s the “if we build it, they will come” logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn’t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical
role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and
learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community.</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Computer programming, or coding, is a digital literacy skill that has become as important as reading and writing. Learning to code builds
rational thinking and problem-solving skills, providing powerful tools that transfer to other subjects and create lifelong learners. Libraries have stepped up to help everyone learn the basics of coding - preschoolers, elementary school kids, tweens, teens,
young adults, mid-career professionals, and retirees. In this webinar, learn why coding is important for everyone. Hear examples of informal and facilitated learning approaches, resources and best practices for library coding programs for a variety of audiences.
And the best news is that you don’t need any specialized training in computer programming yourself to run a successful program!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
