Language StoryTelling 2005-06:
A Diversity, Literacy, Recruiting Pilot Project |
CJRLC will offer a
second round of our successful project featuring
bi-lingual story hours. CJRLC will fund up to 10
libraries to offer a bilingual story hour once a week
for eight weeks. See www.cjrlc.org/storytelling.htm
for information about the last cycle. Libraries who did
not participate in Round One are particularly encouraged
to apply.
-
The library will select its target
language group from among underserved
patrons in its community.
-
A library would hire a bilingual high school or
college student to offer a special story hour each week
for eight weeks. Stories would be told in the native
language and in English.
-
The student would work 5 hours/week at $10/hour to:
-
Conduct the story hour
-
Meet with the librarian to plan the story hour
-
Advertise the story hour in the appropriate community
-
The library would receive $2000:
-
The cost of the storyteller ($400)
-
Money to purchase books for the collection ($1000)
-
Money for paperbacks to give participants ($500)
-
Money for supplies (fliers, etc. $100)
-
The librarian will encourage the student to consider
librarianship as a career as the student learns how to
conduct a storytime.
-
Caregivers will be encouraged to attend to improve
literacy skills if necessary.
-
The library will agree to keep accurate records and
participate in an evaluation, which may be shared with
other libraries if the program proves successful.
