Margaret Fujishin at the Homedale Public Library created a wonderful help sheet for her fellow librarians to locate materials for speakers of other languages that visit libraries. If your library doesn’t have a large selection of materials to help speakers of other languages learn english, there are many such items available through Interlibrary Loan. To locate the items, you can use Idaho’s LiLI Unlimited catalog.

Step 1 - Go to www.lili.org to access the LiLI Portal

Step 2 - Click on LiLI Unlimited (the link has a stack of books)

Step 3 - Click on Guest Login (If your library has a login of its own, use that for access to libraries outside Idaho. If you represent and Idaho library and would like a full-access authorization and password, you can request one by using the form found on the LiLI Unlimited information page to Get a FirstSearch Account.)

Step 4 - Perform a keyword search for items. For example, try searching for “habla ingles” or even just “ingles”
