Libraries are a welcoming place for everyone. At the heart of that mission is a thoughtfully developed collection that is accessible, relevant, and engaging for both new visitors and lifelong patrons. Children’s collection specialists will undoubtedly purchase replacement copies of beloved series like Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid for years to come. Yet even smaller, less frequent acquisitions can have an outsized impact. Investing in a robust World Language collection sends a clear message of inclusion to bilingual families, affirms multilingual identities, and supports English language learners as well as students studying a second language.
