Children's Books in World Languages
Did you know that Garden Home Community Library has children's books in languages other than English? We offer a small collection of books in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Vietnamese, as well as a larger collection of Spanish books. Stop by to find graphic novels, juvenile fiction, board books, picture books, early readers, non-fiction and books for teens (young adult). Some of our fellow libraries even have collections of foreign films. WCCLS has 593 French films, 566 Spanish, over 170 films in both German and Japanese, and 120 Hindi films. Find them in the WCCLS catalog. Again, you can add filters for audience and language.

Meet Holly P., a Garden Home Community Library Association Board member since 2017. Holly loves to travel, but time and money can be limited. However, she says, "Imagination is not! I spend many hours researching and planning trips that I might take, someday. It's wonderful to learn about new places and dream." She also attends fun events, such as TikiKon (see picture at left).
