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.
Learning Outcomes:- At the end of the conference, you will leave with the contact information of vendors and publishers and how to buy books from them in Spanish.
- At the end of the session, you will leave the session with at least two ideas that you could implement to improve your Spanish collections at your library.
