 * The Hispanic Diaspora and the Public Schools: Educating Hispanics**- Richard Fry

Article Review: ====This article is useful in discussing the dispersion and suburbanization of Hispanic children in public schools since the 1990’s. It also goes on to discuss how the most recent Hispanic Diaspora could actually cause Hispanic students to have better schooling than what was traditionally given to them. It also discusses what areas have had the most Hispanic immigration and how that has affected schooling in those areas. In the article is a table with information containing the top settlement areas for Hispanic immigrants and based on the information given, in 2005 there were 66,961 Hispanic students enrolled in schools in metro Atlanta/Sandy Springs, GA. This number ranked Georgia as 25th in the Hispanic Enrollment ranking. It discusses geographically why most Hispanics do not attend the same schools as white students. It goes more in to depth about how Hispanic students in the new metro areas are having better schooling and why that is as compared to the students who have remained in the other traditional areas. This quote is a good summary of the article **“****The typical Hispanic student educated in a new settlement metro is, in fact, more likely to attend a suburban school, a smaller school, and a more affluent school than his/her counterpart in a traditional Hispanic metro.”** The article ends by saying that it might not be that they are Hispanic students or white students but instead that some areas of the country are just stronger in education than other areas. ====

Lucía González's //The Storyteller's Candle// is a story about Pura Belpré- the first Puerto Rican librarian in New York City- and how she invited young children to the library and told them stories in both English and Spanish. By extending her hand, this storyteller encouraged the young children, their families, and ultimately, their community to become involved in introducing Puerto Rican culture to New York City. This children's book addresses the importance in creating a welcoming community to children of all backgrounds, especially in public institutions such as the library, for as Pura Belpré says. "Remember, the library belongs to you all."
