Congratulations to Oscar Baeza for being awarded the Reforma Librarian of the Year (LOTY) Award.
|
Oscar Baeza is an Assistant Professor/ Public Service Librarian, at El Paso Community College. Oscar received his Master’s degree in Library Science from Texas Woman’s University (2007) and a Bachelor’s degree of Social Psychology from Park’s University (2001). Mr. Baeza is also a 2011 graduate of the Emerging Leaders program of the American Library Association.
The awardee is an activist librarian with deep concerns on issues related to literacy and border issues. As Juanita Kamalipour stated, “Whether he is fighting for more public library budget or he is giving a lecture about Chicana/os, Oscar is always advocating for a better tomorrow.” An early career librarian, Oscar Baeza is an outstanding librarian and community role model. He embodies the attributes of leadership, dedication, and commitment to the Latina/o community that were espoused by Dr. Arnulfo Trejo, the founder of REFORMA. Please join me and the 2013 LOTY Committee in congratulating Oscar! Finally, I would also like to extend a warm thank you to my wonderful Committee: John Ayala, Janice Greenberg, Jean Hatfield, Alex Rivera,and Ron Rodriguez. Sincerely, Susan Luévano Chair, 2013 LOTY Committee |

What a treat to dive into these sublime odes by one of the world's greatest poets.After almost 50 years, Pablo Neruda's poetry still captivates through its energy, wit, and grand passion for the ordinary.
