New Jersey State Library

The New Jersey State Library will work with Queens Library, Hartford Public Library, and Infopeople, to provide cultural competence, interpretation, and translation skills training to bilingual (Spanish/English) public library professionals. The project team will develop and deliver online modules and in-person training workshops for 350 bilingual library professionals in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and California. The in-person workshops, regional conference presentations, and participant meetups will help build a bilingual library professionals' network in each partner region. All training materials and a toolkit of resources for interpretation and translation in a public library setting will be freely available through an online platform.
