A11 studies show libraries are viewed as very important resources for underrepresented and also low-income groups #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala Yep :) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala but 5 de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (common misunderstanding). but I do agree on tacos :) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

top Latinx stereotypes - we all speak Spanish/don't know English, all eat tacos, and 5 de Mayo is Mex Independence Day #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala @LGuedeaCarreno So true! #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala Have you done all these things? (Impressed!) What's worked best for you? #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala Jajaja! :) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala Lot our students are older, non-traditional so I preferred more respectful, though I'm more used to "tu" #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala decided on formal (I've seen both ways though) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@LGuedeaCarreno Yeah, we had a Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Chilean all with different opinions! #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@LGuedeaCarreno we just had this issue - debated over using "tu" or "usted" for degree brochure #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@mujergala Yessss! #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

A6 Plan programs with food! :P (but seriously) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

A6 Being available, listening. Be careful not to assume you know what's best, but see what your patrons value #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

A6 Even a little Spanish goes a long way, shows you care! #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@haslibgirl Yes! Church is a social center to many Latinx communities #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

A5 if you're at an academic library, student groups and international study departments #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@Jane_Feyl For quick reference, I like using SpanishDict (much better than Google Translate! :P) #mclschat

[Amanda Palomino @apalomino91]

@Jane_Feyl there are lots of great podcasts for learning Spanish #mclschat
