Since 1971, REFORMA’s mission has been focus on collections in Spanish and bilingual formats that reflect the culture of our communities, programs that celebrate Latino culture, information and referral, and outreach to Spanish-speaking communities.
September marks the new beginning for REFORMA. This year REFORMA celebrated its 40th anniversary and its 4th National Conference “Elevating Latino Services to a Higher Level” a tambor batiente / with flying colors, triumphantly! The conference was very successful and enlightened, exhilarated and inspired all REFORMistas that gathered in Denver. It was a moment to celebrate the work of the volunteers and “Librarian of the Year” that promoted librarianship and advocated services to Spanish speaking and Latino communities. Everyone that attended used the opportunity to socialize, network and share information about our accomplishments. We all returned home re-energized and ready to take REFORMA into the next 40 years!
