This is the same workshop CTLS is calling "Library Services to the Spanish Speaking". The first one will be held in Bandera, put on by a different trainer, but for those of you who live on the west side of the hill country it might be convenient! -----Original Message----- From: Myra Zatopek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 3:52 PM To: Jennifer Patterson (E-mail) Subject: TSLAC New Workshop Series: ROSA (Reaching Our Spanish-speaking Audience) Importance: High Dear Librarians, The Texas State Library & Archives Commission, in collaboration with WebJunction.org, is pleased to invite Texas library staff to an exciting new training series entitled ROSA - Reaching Our Spanish-speaking Audience.
