English, Spanish, or Spanglish? We have it all!

Did you know the Lambertville Free Public Library has a lot of Spanish language resources, which we are  always adding to? Whether you are a Latinx perfecting your English, a person who wants to be bilingual or raise their kids to be bilingual, or a person who is comfortable with both languages already, we serve readers in our community of all types.

Through our newest addition to the library, Hoopla, you have access to a whole array of eBooks, eAudiobooks, and comics in Spanish. You can also stream bilingual educational music and TV shows for young learners! From conversational Spanish dialogues to romantic bilingual poems, Hoopla has it all. Just use the search term “bilingual” or “Spanish,” and you’ll see all of the materials you can check out for free. You also have access to CloudLibrary, which lets you search for eBooks and eAudiobooks by language and has a huge collection of materials in Spanish for all ages. For those learning or polishing up their Spanish or English skills, you can also access Rosetta Stone – free for Patrons – which you can also use to learn any number of other languages!

We don’t just have Spanish language materials online – come into the Library and check out our books in Spanish for all ages. Did you know we have The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo – which has been very popular recently – in both English and Spanish. You can also search through our collection on the Catalog to find some good bilingual reads before you even come in. We also have a whole section of different languages for our early readers. Did your child love Dragons Love Tacos? Pick up Dragones y Tacos in Spanish! Whatever your age, skill level, or format you choose to learn with, learning languages is a great way to expand your skills, exercise your brain, and become closer as a community.

Pop in to the Pop-up

We have an excellent City Hall. When they knew we were looking for a place to have a pop-up library, they jumped right in and offered two spaces. One is downtown at the Justice Center for kid programs and other activities. I heard that the Mah Jong group is going strong, but I have yet to stop by. But the other space is right here at City Hall. It’s a lovely, open space, which we promptly filled. See you in the stacks! /Annie

It’s happening!

Would you just look at this! It’s happening! It has begun! This is really exciting news for not only the library, but for the whole community. This grand old building has withstood a lot of wear and tear over the decades, and now the time has come for some much-needed repairs. Brick pointing, roof leaks, and other external repairs are all being taken care of. It’s exciting! See you in the stacks! /Annie

Big Changes at the Library!

With so much thanks to an army of volunteers, staff, and board members, the library was packed up and ready for renovations in an amazingly short time. With breathtaking speed, volunteers came in and packed up the books according to a system that will let us locate any book and the shelf where it belongs after we come back. Honestly, I am so impressed with it all. We are truly blessed to have so many amazing and capable and generous friends here. See you in the stacks! /Annie

“Cook What you Have”

It’s no secret that I love cookbooks. I probably love them more than I love cooking, but cooking is a close second. Here at the library, we try to provide a broad base of cookbooks, from classics, to regional, and sometimes the downright unusual. But sometimes a cookbook comes along that is a real standout. And we have a new one, just in. Christopher Kimball’s “Cook What you Have.” See you in the stacks /Annie
