Hi Lorry, et. Al.,

REFORMA has a lot of great resources: https://www.reforma.org/ for Children & Young Adult Services.

I also recommend you take a look at reviews in collection development periodicals, such as the School Library Journal: https://www.slj.com/section/reviews/books/spanishlanguagematerials.

 

As for language learning audio resources, I cannot promote one eResource/Audio subscription over another, but there are a lot of great services.  There are also great Spanish resources in MeL, such as Britannica School offering Spanish translations and the My First Bilingual Book series.

 

There are a lot of great resources out there in library land!

Bella Luna (picture books) is very nice--and storytime-friendly.

Windows is also available as Ventanas-- lots of detail to explore, good story.

Hi library land,

 

Thank you for your constant help any time I ask for advice with library things.

 

This time around, I am looking for help in finding Spanish and bilingual titles for ages 0-18. We recently received a small donation for these materials and I am doing as much research as possible prior to ordering the items.

 

I am searching for audios that would help in learning English and or Spanish for various ages. I am also searching for young adult titles in either print or audio, along with various nonfiction materials.

 

Thank you in advance for your help. If you have specific titles that were recently published (no older than 2018 if possible) or perhaps useful websites or other resources you utilize in selecting these materials and could share this information with me, I would greatly appreciate it.
