Administration

The 2016-18 LSTA project Libros for Oregon: Collections Connect Communities was coordinated by Deborah Gitlitz, with support from the Libros for Oregon Advisory Council members. 

 

Currently, LfO is a committee of REFORMA Oregon Round Table, with the support of the Oregon Library Association (OLA) for its financial administration, and with the addition of graduate student participation in both the committee and the FIL. 

 

The committee is formed by co-chairs, and the membership includes library staff from around the state with expertise in public libraries, youth services, adult services, cataloguing, tech services, school libraries, international relations, outreach, service to Spanish speakers and Latinos, and more.
