Libros Nuevos en Español / New Spanish Books

 

Do you like to read books in Spanish?  The Eager Free Library was recently awarded an Adult Literacy grant from The Dollar General Literacy Foundation to be able to purchase adult titles in Spanish and we’d love to hear your suggestions for purchase!  Check out our survey in the Adult Fiction section—you can suggest specific titles or check off the types of books you like to read.  We’d love to see you at our monthly Spanish-English Conversation Group, too!  Join us on the first Friday of the month at 6 pm at El Vallarta restaurant.  Here is a peek at some of our new Spanish titles:
