We have some brochures in Spanish and that really suffices and we have our library card application in Spanish and we have our Web site available in Spanish as well. Really, that's what people need.

We have a really excellent collection. I've been told that we have the best Spanish language collection of any library in the state. But that was a couple of years ago and some have probably caught up with us.

What we really concentrate on is the language that people need materials on in Marshalltown, which is Spanish. We also have a lot of bilingual materials.

It's not that the kids listening don't speak English; it's an expression of the diversity we have in Marshalltown. It's healthy for them to see that model from adults. And kids really get a kick out of language anyway. During the elementary years, that's when they're playing with language and learning the power it has.
