Spanish for Library Personnel
 
 
Libraries are wonderful assets for the entire community, including Spanish-speakers.  If, however, no one on the library staff can communicate with Spanish-speaking persons, all the wonderful services that the library can offer are lost to them.  In order to meet the needs of Spanish-speakers at your library, you need to take our online program, Spanish for Library Personnel.  After completing our program, you will be able to use Spanish in order to communicate all the services available at the library, as well as explain library procedures. 
 

This program is:

• Self-Paced (You can start and stop any lesson at any time to fit your schedule.)
• Non-Teacher-Led
• Asynchronous (You can start the course on any day, at any hour.)
• Based on Adult Education Principles
 

No Prior Knowledge of Spanish Required!
Upon completion, you may immediately print your own personalized Certificate of Completion.
