We’ve been auditing our collection of books in Spanish, from bilingual books to books about Latin-American cultures. Below is a list of all the library has to offer (and how to find your way around the library).
Access this list from your mobile device when you visit, or grab a printed copy at the front desk.
Also, we’ll be creating a survey on more ways we can serve our Spanish-speaking (and Spanish-learning) community. Pease keep an eye out for it and help us help you!
We’re meeting Fridays at 10AM in the amphitheater behind the library (dress for the weather!). Come through the library or walk around the building.
Activities are planned for 2-6 year-olds, but everyone is welcome and accommodations can be made for kiddos with special needs or sensitivities.
Check out the schedule on our events calendar for updates and changes.
If there’s enough interest, bilingual and/or evening story times might be possible. Please stay tuned for a survey on how we might best expand our offerings.
Please stay tuned: we’re currently looking to continue story time Fridays (10AM-11AM, ages 2 to 6) and we’ll post all about it as soon as we finish the schedule!
