Hi All,
I have a question for people who work with language collections.

Are your Spanish Language materials part of a World Languages collection? If so, what types of materials are shelved all together in your World Languages?

Ours is called the “Language Center.” It includes:
 - DVDs in Spanish
 - CDs in Spanish
 - books written in Spanish
 - books written in other foreign languages (foreign languages DVDs and CDs not Spanish are with the rest of the DVDs and CDs)
 - ESL books/CDs/DVDs
 - Adult literacy books
-  books/CDs/etc. for learning a foreign language.

I’m considering shifting things around a bit!

How do your libraries organize? What do they call the section? Are the signs/shelf blades/whatever bilingual? (Proud pics of beautiful signage/space ideas always welcome.)

Thanks for the input!
