A high demand for English tutoring for Hispanic <br />ESOULEP residents has been documented by the Cabarrus Literacy Council, and library administration has identified the <br />absence of Spanish language services an unintentional barrier to equitable information access. To fully embody the library's <br />mission to serve a diverse public and provide for the literacy and lifelong learning needs of this significant portion of <br />Cabarrus residents, Cabarrus County Public Library proposes a multifaceted project to improve the target audience's ability <br />to discover information: increase literacy opportunities; improve Spanish marketing and outreach; and develop Spanish <br />language collections, resources and programs. Success will be achieved through employment of a Bilingual Library <br />Assistant, purchasing modern and relevant collections and resources, active recruitment and training of literacy tutors, and <br />publicity of expanded services. <br />Certification and Signature (please sign in blue ink) <br />We are aware of and agree to comply with all state and federal provisions and assurances required under this grant program. <br />If awarded grant funds, we assure that we will carry out the grant p 'ect according to the approved grant application.
