Thank you so much to everyone who has replied.  I've gotten some great feedback and suggestions!  (And I hope to reply directly to each of you soon.  :-) )  I will work on compiling the responses and post them here when I get that done in case other people are looking for help with this too.

Thanks so much again,
Amanda

Also, I don't know how great their selection is - how it compares to what is available out there and what Spanish readers are reading.   Is anyone aware of good vendors for Spanish materials?  Who do you use?

How do you go about selecting Spanish materials?  Do you have Spanish speakers on staff that choose books?  Do you rely on standing order type plans, or vendors to do selecting for you?
