Introduction: It is imperative that library programs reflect the rich diversity of the entire community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2019, July 1), 44% of Ridgefield park's community is Hispanic or Latino. Over 51% of households speak a language other than English in their home. Bilingual storytimes in English and Spanish is an effective strategy to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to our library.
