2. Answer to the latest SOL quiz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teresa Pacheco was quick to identify the Mexican
revolutionary, a leader and a reader who, as Secretary of Education,
oversaw the establishment of a couple thousand public libraries
in the first years of the 1920's. He spent a lot of his weekends
driving boxes of books out to small towns...later he ran for president,
left the country, returned to direct the National Library,
and created a body of written work that solidified
his place as one of America's most important philosophers and authors.
Also known as "Maestro de América," he was--

The contest runner-up was Claire Johnston in Jersey
whose answer was perfect but came in after Teresa's:

me a _proofreader_!
Bruce: Hi. Is it José Vasconcelos? He was Secy.
of Education for Mexico also, so it would make sense that he was
the greatest proponent of libraries, esp. mule-driven ones. Thanks.
I like these quizzes.

Teresa of course gets a free book, but she's ready
to spread the good fortune around; she reports, "I'm working
on grants from number of sources and will let the list know if anything
comes of it."
She also thanked Pamela Conroy for her offer to
hook up with folks in Chicago (see SOL 20.5): "Pamela
- wish I could go to that, but family reunion time is coming up
for us right then. I'd love to meet some other people on this list."

3. A plan to hook up in Chicago, and in Hermosillo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: "Lic. Cecilia Avilés-Valdez" <cecilia@cetys.mx>
Subject: Re: SOL 20.5: Delivery Duda; Fun
in Chicago
Hola!
Me parece interesante lo que dice Pamela, yo estaré
en ALA y sería interesante que pudieramos planear algo para el XI
Foro que se celebrará en Hermosillo, Sonora en marzo del 2001.
I'm interested in Pamela's idea. I'll be
in Chicago for ALA and it might be nice if we could plan something
for the 11th Cross-border Library Forum that will take place in
Hermosillo next March.

4. This looks like a job for a Spanish-speaking
librarian!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[I've lived in Hermosillo, and I've lived in Oregon;
they're both beautiful but they have slightly different average
temperatures and annual rainfall. This job closes soon, so contact
Ann immediately if you're interested, and please let me know your
feelings about job postings on the SOL list.]
From: Ann Dondero <anndo@wccls.lib.or.us>
Subject: Question About Postings???
Hello!
I signed up for this list some time ago and have
read the postings with interest.
Our library has a vacant reference librarian position
and would ideally like to hire someone who is fluent in speaking
(and reading and writing) English and Spanish. I do not recall
having seen job postings on your list. Our director would like the
library's position posted if this can be done because the number
of Spanish speaking patrons is growing and we would
like to serve their needs better than we are able
to do currently. Our community has a significant Spanish
speaking population and it is felt that this is an opportunity to
provide improved service. Please let me know if this is possible.
OR It can just be stated there is a job opening and if someone
is interested they may make an inquiry. Please let me know
and I will send the information, if either of these options is appropriate.
The listing closes May 31st. Thank you!
