so, now i want to close by talking a little about what the library does in terms of socioeconomic equity. there are quite a few areas here and if i can call to your attention, first of all, the area of literacy and learning. we take great pride in having had about 10,000 volunteer hours in tutoring adult learners to read. a project read program is one of the highlights, one of the hallmarks of our services. we also have great emphasis in early literacy, working with head start, with day care centers, child care providers, parents, to impress upon them how important it is to get youngsters into the five basic literacy skills. we have a multi-lingual website. i think one of the -- we're one of the departments that does very well in terms of the language access ordinance. we take that very seriously and, in fact, have a very robust website in multiple languages. just as an example, you see it on the screen. we had over 205,000 views of the library in chinese and spanish just as an example. we have about 340,000 books in a variety of languages from arabic to vietnamese. and, again, our staff
