Declaración de Justicia de Lenguaje

Library Language Justice Statement 

SBPL se compromete a proveer acceso de lenguaje de una manera que refleje los idiomas que hablamos en nuestra comunidad para promover la justicia y la igualdad para todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Es nuestra aspiración apoderar todos los miembros de la comunidad para ser participantes involucrados e incluidos en cualquier asunto que nos interesa a nosotros mismos, a nuestras familias, o a nuestra comunidad.

SBPL is committed to providing language access that reflects the languages spoken in our community as a way to promote justice and equity for all community members. It is our aspiration to empower all community members to be involved and included participants in matters of interest to ourselves, our families, and our community.

If you select Spanish language, SBPL staff will want to meet the Spanish speaker to determine if their fluency meets our language justice standards

Proposal

Describe what you hope to accomplish, what resources you will provide, what you will need for the Library to provide, and how this program or workshop supports SBPL’s mission. All SBPL programs are free and open to the public.

Note: If you are primarily interested in the use of meeting room space, nonprofit rates for room rentals are available. If you are interested in offering a program at the Library for a fee (children’s performer, workshop, etc.), you may email materials to LibraryPR@SantaBarbaraCA.gov, but due to the volume of inquiries, Library staff will only respond to those who they are interested in hiring.
