The Public Library Association (PLA) and the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) will develop and document methods for how library staff can support authentic Latinx parent participation. PLA and NCFL will co-design a process to involve Latinx parents in creating services designed for them. PLA and NCFL will undertake an environmental scan and engage in community-based learning with library staff and parents in three (urban, suburban, and rural) locations. The intent is to generate strategies and practices for authentic parent participation and identify approaches and best practices that can be piloted on a national scale.
