Oportunidad Magnífica

A long while back, I signed up to be a Spanish translator for the local hospital and haven't thought much about it. Friday night, I got a call that a translator was needed in the ER. I jumped in the car with my two young boys and we went to help out. Several people asked who I was affiliated with and I said that I worked for the library but wanted to volunteer this service. It was tremendously fulfilling and greatly appreciated.

Hey Brett - way to go! I truly wish I had the language abilities that you have. Maybe when I'm done with my MLIS!

At Parmly Billings Library we have thought about putting together a "team of translators." Your experience is proof that it is a necessity.
