Spanish Language Outreach Update
September 2007
Ocean County Library Diversity Cookbook
The Diversity Cookbook (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=17879) is an online database developed by a team of librarians at the Ocean County Library (OCL). It was developed to assist in planning diversity programs, and to share the information with others. OCL first started the Diversity Cookbook as an internal resource but then realized the more input they got from libraries throughout the state, and even the country, the more useful the tool would become. You too can contribute (http://www.oceancountylibrary.org/cookbook/add_recipe.asp) to this growing knowledge base of diversity programming.
