AU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - The new ‘Community languages collection’ at the LE Phillips Public Library has already caught many people’s eye, specifically those who speak a native language like French, Hmong, even Ojibwe.
Y para los Latinos del area, ahora pueden leer algunos de sus libros favoritos, en Español.
Translation: And for the Latinos in the area, you can now read some of your favorite books in Spanish.
Inspiration for the collection came after the library analyzed language data and surveys from local schools, noticing a gap in materials written in primary languages spoken at home.
The libraries programming and communications services manager, Isa Small, said we reached out to the Eau Claire Area School District and surveyed them on what languages are kids speaking in the schools here in the community.
