new library film to reach non-English speakers

The Greenville County Library System in South Carolina (http://www.greenvillelibrary.org) has produced an 8-minute film entitled "Welcome to Your Public Library" for use by foreign-born patrons. The film is in English with a few words (borrow, return, etc.) given in several different languages. It is both an ESL instructional tool as well as a library orientation resource.

From the library's home page, you can link to the film (YouTube) and an LJ article about the film.

It's really a great help for Non-English speakers. It will remove the communication gap.
