In 2020, Biblioteca en Camino expanded to 3 new communities and 4 new sites in central Oregon visiting Bend, Redmond, Sisters and La Pine. The team also collaborated with the migrant summer school and Juntos Aprendemos, to deliver virtual programming, arts videos, live and prerecorded story times and physical craft kits to students. Outreach this summer included both virtual programming as well as in person socially distanced access for community members.
With the summer success and continued barriers to access due to COVID -19, Biblioteca en Camino continued into the fall for the first time this year into September and October. As a result of this outreach, folks from nearby neighborhoods invited the team to visit an additional site. A local farm also joined at two Bend locations to offer free fresh produce. The team also brought along a portable Caminata de Cuentos, (StorywalkⓇ) as a socially distanced option for story time. (pictured below):
