CALCON 2024

In this presentation, you will learn about how to develop a collection that serves best the Spanish-speaking population in your school: Some of the topics included are alternative vendors and publishers to buy books in Spanish, how to include different voices and perspectives in your collection and some of the best practices for developing a bilingual collection. This presentation is based on my experience as a first-year school librarian in a bilingual elementary school where 50% of the students speak Spanish at home.
