<p class="MsoNormal">Through Google Analytics, we found that the bilingual programs in our Texas Reading Club manuals (2001-2012) are frequently accessed. This led to developing a web page of Resources for Bilingual Library Programs for Spanish-Speaking Children
and Families at <a href="https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ldn/youthservices/Spanish">https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ldn/youthservices/Spanish</a>, which includes indexes to 86 programs in those manuals plus many other programming resources.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The web page is still a work in progress and I hope you will let me know if you have suggestions for links to any additional resources. If the site will be helpful to librarians in your states, please feel free to share the link.<o:p></o:p></p>
