Spanish for Library Folx is an eight-week language learning community and conversation circle for library staff in the state of Colorado. This community is not a Spanish language course, nor is it intended to substitute for formal Spanish language instruction. It is intended for beginning to intermediate Spanish speakers or speakers with basic conversational fluency who work in library spaces and want to learn and practice Spanish contextualized for library work. Cohorts meet weekly over an eight-week period to learn and/or practice terms and phrases relevant to library work and library spaces. Sessions will provide the opportunity for peer-learning and practice in a non-judgmental, supportive space.
Hour-long sessions once weekly for eight weeks via Zoom
Support for accessing and utilizing Spanish language learning materials
Basic vocabulary for: Customer Service, Getting a Library Card, Circulation, Events, Reference, Technology
Opportunities to practice basic library service-centered Spanish with other learners in library contexts
