Home Languages Collection
Dear IICS Community,
Are you traveling to your home country for the Winter Break? Will you be in an area that has a bookstore, selling books in your home language? The IICS Library is trying to grow our Home Languages Collection! Consider purchasing your favorite book in your mother tongue and donating it to the library in January. It could be a much loved children's book, a young adult novel or even a classic from your country. And stop by the Library to check out what books are available in multiple languages.
Thank you!
