MOSAIC meeting

We are MOSAIC, the Multicultural Outreach Services and Information Committee.  We are a diverse group of librarians with differences, similarities, cultures, and backgrounds, all sharing information.  I am Elma Lugo, Chair of MOSAIC.  I will be stepping down in November.  It is time to pass the baton to the incoming Chair, Amber Sroka (presently Co-Chair) who, I am sure, will bring new and fresh ideas to the table.  As a group we have accomplished so much. We have helped each other develop the many programs and services in our own libraries for our diverse populations, including various English language learning, citizenship, careers, dia de los niños, dia de los libros, and Hispanic Heritage month celebrations, among others.  We have sponsored several “Navigating Your Community” MOSAIC Fairs in different libraries. We sponsor an Annual Breakfast for librarians with a special program to demonstrate our mission and elicit new membership.  At our regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year we have many guest speakers from different organizations to share information about their services for our patrons.  We visited the Queens Library New Americans program and Nassau County’s Holocaust Museum.

I leave you with this thought:  We, librarians of all colors, are moving and dancing in the same direction; each of us dancing uniquely and adding something to the dance.  I’d like to thank all the members of MOSAIC who, over these past four years, have made it possible for MOSAIC’s growth, their input, their sharing of information, programs, and teaching abilities, while still dancing in the same direction making the dance ever so exciting.  My departure will not create a gap but an opportunity for further growth.  Please join us at our next meeting on September 8, 10-12 (9:30 coffee) @ SCLS if you are a librarian who can inspire others with your ideas so that those ideas may spread from library to library. 


Best, el
