Latinos and Public Library Perceptions

by Edward Flores and Harry Pachon

Latinos now comprise the largest minority group in the United States but a gap persists in their access to
information and technology especially for Latinos who speak primarily Spanish. In 2004, with funding from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, WebJunction launched the Spanish Language Outreach Program to help
equip library staff with knowledge and resources to reach out to Spanish speakers in their communities and
increase their access to information and technology.
