Provo library reaching out to Hispanics. Utah

“Where in Provo can one find the latest Star Wars movie and a Harry Potter novel — in Spanish? Even many local Hispanics don’t realize the myriad resources available for them at the Provo City Library, so expanded outreach services are bringing the library to the Latinos.

Overall circulation of Spanish-language materials through the municipal library surged 14 percent over the past year. Yet while Hispanics comprise well over 10 percent of Provo’s population, Spanish-language media account for only 2 percent of the city library’s total circulation.”
