On Friday, March 5, 2010, OLA (Organización Latino-Americana) sponsored a community fair at the Bridgehampton Community House in Bridgehampton. The John Jermain Memorial Library’s Aracely Garcia was there representing the library with a display table highlighting the library’s programs for the Latino community. Aracely says that JJML’s table was the busiest at the fair. Fairgoers showed much interest in our programming, materials and reference services.
Aracely also brought with her materials such as children’s books, crayons and more, which was a “good thing,” she said. “People at the fair treated our table as if it were a branch of the library, reading the books, borrowing supplies and asking reference type questions. It was very gratifying to be there.”
