Aula Máxima es la biblioteca y también lugar de recreo del espíritu. - José Vasconcelos

Many public libraries find it difficult to fully serve all their communities because of the time and expertise needed for translation and multilingual outreach work. PLUS seeks to lend a hand by gathering useful resources that can help you make your library a more welcoming place for Spanish speakers. Card applications, brochures, programming suggestions, signage, press releases and news articles―many in Spanish with a side-by-side English translation―are collected here and are yours to use as you wish. As I work to build this site, I welcome your comments and especially your submissions of Spanish-language library documents that you are willing to share with other librarians and users. Gracias, y ”nos vemos en las estanterķas! Thanks, and see you in the stacks!
