Authors, illustrators, readers, advocates for Latino literature, and book lovers of all sorts have suffered a great loss. Rose Treviño, Youth Services Coordinator for the Houston Public Library, passed away on Friday. Rose was a dear friend and someone I truly admired. She was the type of person who would not hesitate to offer a helping hand, and was willing to introduce you to the right people to ensure your sucess, as she understood that one person's success in this field, signifies a success for the field as a whole. She worked tirelessly to make a difference and knew how to get things done. I consider myself lucky to have known her. Below, I have included a link to an interview I conducted with Rose some time ago for Críticas magazine. Anyone interested in Latino publishing should read this interview to become aware of the amazing work librarians do everyday to promote our books. My heart and thoughts go out to her family, and to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Rose and is as saddened by this loss as I am. Feel free to comment below if you are so inclined.—Adrianahttp://www.criticasmagazine.com/article/CA6605985.html?industryid=48434

Para la familia Valdez.
El fallecimiento de Rose Treviño significa una gran perdida. Fueron pocos los momentos que convivimos con ella, pero es poco tiempo fue suficiente para darnos cuenta del gran ser humano que ella fue.
Rose la vamos a extrañar y vivira eternamente en nuestros corazones.
