[aisle] Spanish Fiction

[Monica Tolva]

Our books in international languages (I cringe a little at "foreign") are
cataloged with the full language name, such as
SPANISH
FIC
GRE

or

RUSSIAN
398.2
ABC

We have books in every language taught at our high school, plus books in
the languages often spoken by our EL students. I truly only buy what I can
get from Follett School Solutions.
At first, I chose some classic texts originally written in each
language (i.e. Tolstoy in Russian) but we have found students most often
want popular books in translation. Start with the books nominated for the
Lincoln Award, and move on from there.
