Traveling for the holidays?  Want to help broaden the reach of our library?  Donate foreign language books!

Did you know that there are 47 languages spoken by students at RMS?  Ms. Metcalf has been working on enhancing the catalog of the library to engage some of these students in their home language.  However, foreign language books often come with a steep markup by the time they reach our town.  So that’s where you come in!  If you’re traveling either for Thanksgiving or the Winter Break to somewhere with a language different than English, please keep an eye out for age appropriate, interesting, and engaging books in other languages.  Donations in any language would be welcomed, but there is a special need for Chinese and Japanese.

And if you’re very interested in this topic, please contact Ms. Metcalf (emetcalf@lwsd.org) to be added to a list of interested parents for future opportunities.
