[Publib] Bilingualism

[Tom Cooper]

1.	Ich spreche deutsch. I also, oddly enough, know some Hungarian,
but that's a long story.
2.	I find very little chance to speak other languages here, though
knowledge of other languages is often useful for such things as
classical music queries.
3.	Not here. This is the first library where I've ever worked that
didn't, but the demographic statistics bear it out. There's just no
significant non-English speaking population in this town.

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?
2.  Do you use languages other than English at your library?
3.  Do you maintain a collection of books that aren't in English?


Thanks!
Hillary
