Overview<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n
As part of their community-engaged learning component, in partnership with Fundaci\u00f3n Rat\u00f3n de Biblioteca, Medell\u00edn Colombia, 76 students from SPAN 301: Intermediate Spanish I coordinated group visits to their local community library to learn about their activities, community engagement and their services to the community. The students prepared a summary of their findings and shared this with representatives from Rat\u00f3n de Biblioteca, through an oral presentation and also a written summary of their findings. <\/em>The overall objective was to provide this information to Rat\u00f3n de Bilblioteca to help them learn about services provided by Vancouver libraries, to motivate students to reconnect with their community libraries and to reflect on the role of libraries in their student lives and in the community.<\/em><\/p>\n
