Searching for Spanish titles and audiobooks

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. -- "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." - Dr. Seuss *Lorry Traver* Youth Services Coordinator Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.

Hi Lorry, et. Al., REFORMA has a lot of great resources: https://www.reforma.org/ for Children & Young Adult Services<https://www.reforma.org/content.asp?pl=59&sl=9&contentid=87>. 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<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&encode=1&proxy=https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?url=&target=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=e860xna&bquery=my+first+bilingual+book&type=1&searchMode=And&site=ehost-live&scope=site>.

There's a wonderful Facebook group if you are interested called the World Language librarians, [ https://www.facebook.com/groups/WorldLanguagesLibrarians | https://www.facebook.com/groups/WorldLanguagesLibrarians ] Also, more locally, there is the International Collections Librarians Roundtable in Michigan that you may be interested in joining for further recommendations, [ https://groups.io/g/iclrmi | https://groups.io/g/iclrmi ] Here are some links to publishers/vendors you may be interested in: [ https://www.1010publishing.com/shop | https://www.1010publishing.com/shop ] [ https://lectorum.com/ | https://lectorum.com/ ] (has both bilingual and some books with CDs) [ https://www.continentalbook.com/ | https://www.continentalbook.com ] If I think of others, I will email you. Those are the ones that popped into my head at the moment :) Lucy Roehrig Librarian Ann Arbor District Library From: "Lorry Traver via Michlib-l" <michlib-l@mcls.org> To: "Michlib-l" <michlib-l@mcls.org>, "miyouth" <miyouth@mcls.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 11:49:22 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Searching for Spanish titles and audiobooks Hi library land, Thank you for your constant help any time I ask for advice with library things.
