Hi Bruce,

Your right, I think the program looks like a great opportunity for libraries, especially those who are already participating in the SLO program and focusing on implementing outreach to Spanish Speakers.

The La Familia website is having problems this morning but last week I was also able to register and there are some great resources and programming ideas available on the site.

I have emailed the project coordinator to find out if other libraries have participated. I will share what I find out.

Gee, I almost want to keep information about this limited to my Minnesota libraries. I browsed through La Familia's web site by registering for free and discovered it provides grants up to $1,500 through an on-line grants application. The grants are independent of the Technology Week promotion.

According to an IBM press release at the IBM.com web site, this is the second consecutive year that IBM is the lead sponsor for Technology Week.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the summer. I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with this program sponsored by IBM called La Familia Technology Week. It looks like it might be a great opportunity for libraries interested in holding technology programs for Spanish speakers.
