also be useful information for my own library). If you have a moment, I would love some feedback on the following:</span></div>

<ol>
<li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
What criteria does your library use to determine which world languages to provide?</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Within those languages, how are materials chosen? As in, do you have librarians that specialize in those languages; do you have a vendor send a selection of their choosing; or another method?</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
In what way do you display your world language collection? Is everything grouped (such as all reading levels grouped together) or divided by age/reading level throughout the library (juvenile, young adult, adult areas)?</li><li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Finally, do you offer all language materials in your outreach efforts?</li></ol>
