What problem would you like to solve?

Brazilian Immigrant children, immigrant adults, and children of immigrants do not have access to books in Portuguese at the local library. The Brazilian immigrant community has been growing rapidly in the East Elmhurst area

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It is important for parents to connect to children by reading to them and it is important to maintain language skills and to be bale to teach Portuguese to children.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Get more books in Portuguese for children and adults at the East Elmhurst Library.

Who would that help?

Brazilian immigrant children, immigrant adults, and children of immigrants

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Queens
