MANGO

Great News! We now have a language-learning program online - much like Rosetta Stone (so if someone asks if we have Rosetta Stone, you can say "no, but we have Mango."). The details are on the webpage - all they need to do is follow the link (links are located in the sidebar and on the Reference page) and use their DPL library card (and I think it will work with any Dennis card), create a profile, and follow the instructions.

DPL is offering
Spanish
French
Brazilian Portuguese
Russian
ESL Spanish (English for native Spanish speakers)
ESL Brazilian Portuguese (English for native Portuguese speakers)

I think this will be a great addition - I know I have had many people in the past year say that they wished we had a language tool - and now we do!

Echo Culturels French Collection

Echo Culturels has donated a collection of French-language books - both fiction and instruction. Lisa is working on getting the collection cataloged, and some are already on the shelves. The collection will be its own collection, and for now is located on the wooden bookcase at the end of the 300-400 range in nonfiction (right near the computers). The SPINE LABEL starts with FL, which stands for Foreign Language, and the books should all be shelved on that wooden bookcase.
