We speak Croatian (and 28 other languages)
You may not know this, but the [INSERT LIBRARY NAME] speaks more languages than just English. Oh okay, we don’t exactly “speak” all of them—but we do provide access to materials in a host of different languages.
How? Through WorldCat. When you use WorldCat.org online or in the library, you can see instantly what materials we have here in [INSERT TOWN/COMMUNITY NAME], and what’s available through interlibrary loan.
Languages include Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romani, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian. Whew! So remember, whether you want to stay in touch with another culture—or brush up your verb conjugations with dictionaries, films, newspapers and instructional materials and more—your friendly library has it ready and waiting for you!
Find it in here in this library or around the world, through WorldCat.
