Spanish Word of the Day

I think it would be great to have a Spanish "Word of the Day" or a "Phrase of the Day" to share with our staff. We have a short staff meeting every morning and that would be a wonderful time to share it, then email the word later that day for reinforcement. I've often thought of this, but need a boost from someone who knows Spanish. Any takers?

Kathy, that is a great idea! Below is a link to a list of words and phrases relevant to libraries in English and Spanish. It might be a great place to get started. We are going to keep a copy handy at our public service desks - it could even be used as simple pointing guide.

Let me know if anyone has trouble opening the document. Just copy and paste into a browser.

Kathy, I'm curious to know how your "word of the day" project is going. Has it made an impact on staff's ability to help Spanish speaking patrons?
