Trilingual Storytelling Celebrates Community in Florida Library Recipient of Mini-Grant

Posted on by

One of the libraries that received a MiniGrant for a Noche de Cuentos programs in 2024 was the Broward County Library System in Broward, Florida. More specifically, the Lauderdale Lake Branch, whose Manager/Senior Librarian is Freda Mosquera, who applied and received the grant from REFORMA.

Their program took place on December 17, 2024, and it celebrated the rich cultures of their community, which includes a big population of Haitian and Caribbean heritage. For that reason, the event featured storytellers and musicians who performed in English, Spanish, and Haitian/Creole.

Performers included poet André Fouad, musician General Stan, and performers Takiyah Williams and REFORMA’s own Lucia Gonzalez, who has the fortune of living close to this Library and was able to join and bring her stories.

Congratulations to Freda Mosquera and the Lauderdale Lakes Library in Broward, Florida!

Be like Freda! Apply for the next grant!
