 Today's symposium is one small way in which libraries and the San Jose State High School are trying to address equity diversity inclusion in our society and field today. My relationship is continues to be predominantly a white profession. I think we're still at about 80% white. So in an effort to fit in, sometimes we may hesitate to bring in our personal experiences to our work. But your difference is what makes you an asset to the profession. So a few weeks ago, I sent an email to the former district asking if one needs to share with me what they have been doing to try to address the digital divide for the Latinx communities. So Matnoma County Library Organ provided classes in parking lots, in parks, or community centers and churches and community organizations that share a space to provide classes and many times are offered in Spanish. Our technology lending program loans out Chromebooks and other hot spots for six months and there's no fees for damages or stolen devices. And I know that fees it deters certain communities from using the services from Denver Public Library. They provide one-to-one appointments based on services to the communities and they help the people apply for affordable connectivity programs or for free or low cost internet at home. They find free or low cost devices. They also provide ongoing one-to-one education. I think the communities they want to feel welcomed, they need to feel represented, listen to and served. Know that the libraries care about their issues. They, you know, find ways to support their issues and interests. In the academic scene we are dealing with food insecurity, housing insecurity, and we have other issues that are that impact our students. And so we as service professionals need to be able to to bring that compassion, that ability to empathize with people. You know, growing up it was because of those few library professionals who spoke the languages that we spoke at home that we were able to get connected to the right resources. So it's really important to make sure that in recruitment you really emphasize that you're looking for Spanish speakers, people who have experience in cultural programming and services because that is really where everything will fall into place. I've met with children of immigrants and a lot of times they don't know our histories. And so I think it's important for us to, you know, educate or to provide education that offers that kind of background and that kind of history because it's part of the roots. And I think they will, it's important for everyone for every student to, oh, okay, so this is what I'm part of. Get involved with organizations like Reforma and even other organizations. I'm involved with the American Association of Law Libraries or Latinx Caucus, they just renamed it. CLA has a Latino Services Special Interest Group and others. And it doesn't have to be library even. I'm involved with the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I'm involved with the LA Latino Chamber of Commerce. So even other organizations where you might find opportunities, I think all of us as librarians, we can bring along a friend, bring along a buddy and introduce them to these spaces and places where they can get those informal or even formal mentor or internship opportunities.
