[Sue Kamm]

Hey,

So, for my class, and also something of interest to me...

Anyone wanna answer the following?

1.  Do you speak more than one language?  Which ones?  Very little Spanish.
2.  Do you use languages other than English at your library? I don't, but others do.
3.  Do you maintain a collection of books that aren't in English?  Yes.  We have a significant Spansh-speaking clientele.  I don't know the size of our Spanish-language collection, but we have a librarian and a library assistant who work with those materials.  We offer books, periodicals, audio-visual media, and at least one online database (Informe) in Spanish.
