Building Partnerships Supporting Non-Native Language Speakers

Title

Building Partnerships Supporting Non-Native Language Speakers

Description

Would you like to gain useful approaches to discovering partnerships that weave diversity through your library’s community? Harper College Adjunct Librarians will showcase how they successfully built meaningful and constructive collaborations with the instructors, staff, community leaders, and students using the Harper College Satellite Library – the Reading Room. The Reading Room model is unique in that it is not only an extension of an academic library but has developed into a community center where families can reinforce literacy and computer skills. Discover the Reading Room’s framework, the transformative power of community partnerships and creative solutions to challenges the Harper College Librarians have faced developing the Reading Room into a positive learning environment.
