Booch for Books with Anchorage Public Library
Anchorage Public Library is teaming up with Zip Kombucha for a tasty collaboration in honor of Library Card Sign Up Month.
Find books in over a dozen languages in our World Language collection for kids, teens, and adults. The Library collects recreational and informational materials in languages other than English to meet the needs of the community. Materials in a variety of languages are collected based on community demographics and availability of materials.
With community input we’ve been able to add new collections in Ukrainian and Swahili , and enhance our Hmong, French, Japanese, and Russian, collections. We’d love to hear what YOU would like to see in the collection too.
The Library welcomes suggestions from the community for possible purchase of materials. All suggestions are given serious consideration. Suggestions are considered by the same criteria as all other materials purchased for the Library. Please include the language, for the item you’re suggesting, in the section for “Why you believe the item should be in the library.”
Looking for more languages, ebooks or audiobooks? Check out the Libby and Hoopla apps.
