four hands with different color holding together After I graduated from the Department of Library and Information Science, I began a position as an Outreach Services Librarian in Santa Ana, California. providing effective library services to English and Non-English speaking residents who are unable to access the Main library or library branches. I schedule bookmobiles and storytelling times, organize special events, buy adult Spanish books, and use my background in Spanish to communicate with the Spanish-speaking residents of the community. I am also responsible for computer training, and my classes at SIS were helpful in preparing me for that. Some of my other duties include working with schools and other agencies for community outreach and coordinating the volunteer program. My internship with the Latin American Collection at Hillman Library was also helpful in preparing me for my current position.
