MEN OF HARMONY DEC. 3 PRACTICE SAT JAN. 7 CITIZENSHIP
WINTER 2017 NEWS & PROGRAMS Serving 70,000 residents of Carpentersville, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Gilberts, and parts of Algonquin MEN OF HARMONY DEC. 3 PRACTICE SAT JAN. 7 CITIZENSHIP 101 STARTS FEB. 4 LIBRARY NEWS DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Voters turned down the library district’s November referendum by a margin of 2:1. Regardless of the outcome, having a funding question on the ballot expanded public awareness of the library, its services, locations, and challenges. Thank you for voting! Your participation in the democratic process is so vitally important. Thank you, also, to the many community organizations and local boards who allowed us to give a Referendum Facts presentation at their meetings so that they could be well informed. Obtaining this concrete feedback about the community’s willingness to fund library services takes us back to the drawing board to reconsider options for addressing the service challenges posed by the population growth of the past 20 years. The needs are well documented and still exist. We look forward to more community engagement and feedback as we continue to explore solutions. In the meantime, we’ll continue to provide the very best service possible with currently available resources. In keeping with the library’s strategic plan, we expanded services this year for one of our largest underserved user groups, Latinos, who make up 32% of our service population. Kate from Information Services, and Maggie from Children’s Services, are working to expand services to our Latino users with programs for adults and children. Club de Conversación provides an opportunity to practice speaking English in everyday situations. ¡Leamos! is a pre-ESL online literacy course that teaches non-literate Spanish-speaking adults to read and write. Obtenga Sy Ciudadanía Estadounidense covers the basics of the citizenship process. This February, we’re offering a comprehensive ten week course that takes permanent residents looking to become citizens step by step through the entire process. Citizenship 101 will cover the N-400 Application for Naturalization and attendees will practice every question and answer for the Civics section of the Naturalization exam. We are pleased to reintroduce Spanish storytimes on Tuesdays and Fridays this winter. Students in D300 dual language programs will find attending these a good opportunity to practice their Spanish outside of school. Another underserved user group is children with special needs or disabilities and their families. At a staff meeting this year, we invited an organization called JJ’s List to provide training on how to communicate comfortably and appropriately with customers, co-workers or potential hires who have disabilities. Our children’s librarians then developed “Bring Your Own Abilities” storytime, which is being offered for the first time in February. Browse our newsletter, and keep it handy in the coming months. There is something for everyone at the Fox River Valley Public Libraries. (And we have even started brainstorming already to bring you the best summer reading challenge ever…).
