Cuesta, Yolanda
"Serving diverse communities has been my passion for the past 30 years. I have developed language collections, conducted needs assessments, organized community festivals and parades, developed strategic plans and driven an outreach bookmobile. The diverse communities I've worked with have been generous with their support and always encouraging of my efforts because they grasped the potential value of the library even if they had never experienced the library before. I hope this course increases your confidence to reach out to diverse customers. The experience will open up new opportunities for the community, for you and for your library."
