50th Anniversary of Bless Mi Ultima

National Hispanic Cultural Center Free Film: Bless Me, Ultima Sept. 30 | 7:00 p.m. Albuquerque Journal Theatre

Rudolfo Anaya’s beloved and iconic Bless Me, Ultima returns to the NHCC with Carl Franklin’s screen adaptation in partnership with the English department of the University of New Mexico. Bless Me, Ultima is set in the 1940s in rural New Mexico, and tells the story of a young boy and the mysterious healer who opens his eyes to the wonders of the spiritual realm. As the entire world is plunged into war and Antonio Marez grapples with the harsh realities all around him, his life is forever changed by the sudden arrival of Ultima, a curandera who inspires him to see the world from a new perspective. 2011; Carl Franklin; English; 102 minutes; rated PG-13. This is a free ticketed event. This event is part of the NHCC's Hispanic Heritage Month programming. The Bank of America provides generous support for this film series.

Latinx/a/o and Spanish-speaking communities in libraries (Academic, Public, School, or Special)

The REFORMA Research Committee is dedicated to examining current trends, statistics, research, best practices, and information on programming and services related to serving Latinx/a/o and Spanish-speaking communities in libraries (Academic, Public, School, or Special). As part of our charge, the committee will create a biannual publication of trends to serve as a resource for librarians to learn about successful programs/projects to replicate and serve their communities. This form serves as a tool to collect data for purposes of inclusion in the biannual publication. It should take about 10 minutes or less to complete. Please consider sharing as much as you like that we can include in the publication and share with REFORMA and librarians. The committee will collect content year-round. If you have questions, please contact research@reforma.org. Here is the form to complete: https://forms.gle/DtfAQb4L1GP9utcX8 We hope you will consider contributing to this important biannual publication as you have programs and projects of interest to share with our communities. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Michele Research Committee Chair Dr. Michele A. L.

"The New Mexico Library Association is delighted to announce its 2022 in-person annual summit, librarySTRONG. In 2019, the American Library Association identified sustainability as a core value of librarianship and although it's always been a key component of libraries, librarians have not always seen their work as meeting those challenges. Sustainability, however, is much more than just a commitment to improving and maintaining our environments. It can be found in library budgets, workflows, planning, pedagogy, community engagement, and equity initiatives, among many other things. In a world that is living with a pandemic, threats of climate change, political unrest, and other factors that affect our lives and planet, the resilience of libraries is increasingly important for our communities. Join us as we explore the diverse ways New Mexico libraries are engaging issues of sustainability.

Just want to thank the Los Griegos Library for hosting their Dia de Los Ninos Storytelling event on 4/28/22. The kids in attendance were thoughtful, imaginative, and sometimes downright hilarious. In fact we ended the session by telling each other our favorite jokes. Here's just a bit of papier mache art that enhanced Thursday's program (made in house for an earlier Summer Reading Program). Meet me new friends,,, Lion and Mouse.

See you all down the trail.
