Spanish Language Materials

We have a new Spanish book Babymouse: rock star that has been added to the browsing collection of paperbacks on the upper level of the library.

If you are interested in seeing what else the library has in Spanish go to the library catalog (you can find this at library.brooksschool.org) and select"power search." If you choose Spanish from the Language drop down menu and then clicking on "search" you will see a listing of over 400 items. You can further refine your list by selecting an option (like DVD or book) from the "Type" drop-down list.
