The America Reads Spanish Project developed this guide to essential books in Spanish (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=18005). Annotations are in English. Contributors include members of REFORMA (http://www.reforma.org/), SALALM (http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/salalmhome.html), and WESS (http://wess.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Iberian_Studies_Web). Covering multiple genres, including fiction and reference works, this is an invaluable tool for librarians building collections in Spanish.
There are many opportunities to continue learning about multicultural services at WebJunction. Check out the courses (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=17900) offered at WebJunction to support and improve your library's services to Spanish speakers and multicultural communities.
The Diversity Cookbook (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=17879) is an online database developed by a team of librarians at the Ocean County Library (OCL). It was developed to assist in planning diversity programs, and to share the information with others. First started as an internal tool, they realized that the more input they got from libraries throughout the state and even the country, the more useful it would be as a tool for developing diversity programs. You too can contribute to this growing knowledge base of diversity programming. Learn more about the Diversity Cookbook at the next In Depth Webinar (http://webjunction.org/do/Navigation?category=15431).
