Improving our Spanish Language Collection

The Mojave Desert area has a large Spanish-speaking population and we do not have enough resources to meet their needs. We need to add resources in heavily used sections, such as learning English, citizenship information, technology, as well as health and wellness.

add more books.  || After we add more books to serve our Spanish-speaking users, here is what we would like our Spanish language collection to look like || Steps toward improvement:
 * These pictures show that our Spanish language collection desperately needs to
 * Do a targeted community analysis of the Hispanic community in our area to see what types of subjects they are most interested in
 * We can analyze circulation statistics of our current Spanish language collection to see which topics are most popular
 * Once we figure out which areas need more books or DVDs, we can increase the collection in those areas

Cost We would like to add between 200 and 300 books and DVDs to our Spanish language collection, and at an average cost of $20 per resource, it would be between $4000 - $6000 to better serve the Hispanic community.
