Understanding diversity in Chandler. A variety of families attend including mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, families of all ethnicities, with a majority of Latino families. Many of the families speak other languages such as Filipino, Mandarin and a majority speak Spanish. Jacob who currently attends the Superhero Book Club is a first grader at Galveston elementary school. Jacob’s father, Omar sits with Jacob as he struggles through his reading, but encourages along the way. His father speaks English as a second language and works full time. Jacob’s family heard about the Superhero Book Club through the Galveston Elementary parent liaison. Jacob was very excited to learn about Superheroes and stayed engaged with the Superman theme while reading the story, making his cape and playing in the relay race. After the program, I gave Jacob and Omar a tour of the library as it was their first time visiting. I highlighted our youth and adult programs and then signed him up for a library card. Jacob and his dad were very thankful for the program and looked forward to attending the next book club meeting. They both left with a handful of books to read at home! And have since invited other friends to join.Sandra Valdivia and her son Rafael, who is a first grade student at Galveston Elementary, attended the Superhero Book Club and had a wonderful time reading, playing and creating crafts. Sandra said, “It is my first time here at the library and for this program. As soon as I heard about it I signed up. I heard other parents talking about how entertaining it was for their children so I made sure that we came. I think this program helps open children’s imagination and motivates them. It’s hard for me sometimes because I work full time and go in at 3AM. When I get home I have to help my kids with homework and do chores, so I am not focused just on them. When we came to the library I was able to focus on Rafael and he seemed to relax and have fun. We are excited to come back next month and I’m planning on bringing in my daughter as well, who is in kindergarten.”After the program we talked about strategies she could use at home to motivate Rafael. We took a tour of the children’s area and signed Sandra up for a library card. I showed Rafael and his mother the children’s non-fiction section and they picked out a couple books about firefighters and snakes to take home that evening.
