Children in Crisis

In 2014, REFORMA implemented the Children in Crisis Project to solicit donations to purchase and deliver books for children crossing the southern border into the United States. We continue delivering books to detention centers, shelters, law offices, and group homes around the country where these children are sent after being processed.

Día Mini-Grants Program

El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), commonly known as Día, is a celebration every day of children, families, and reading that culminates yearly on April 30. The celebration emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. REFORMA is proud to be a founding partner of Día. Each year REFORMA awards up to 5 mini-grants of $300 to support a Día program that celebrates Latino culture.

REFORMA / ALA Emerging Leaders

The Emerging Leaders program enables newer librarians from across the country to participate in workgroups, network with peers, gain an inside look into ALA’s structure, and have an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership capacity. Each year, REFORMA sponsors one member to participate in the program and contributes $1000 to cover the cost of attending the Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference.

Scholarship Fund

Since 1971, REFORMA has supported the active recruitment of bilingual and bicultural librarians to meet the information needs of the Spanish-speaking community. The REFORMA Scholarship provides financial assistance to encourage and enable Latinos and/or Spanish speakers to pursue or advance a career in Library and Information Science.
