Library to Receive Donated Materials from Georgia Public Broadcasting

The library’s collection of DVDs for children and adults is growing, thanks to a generous donation from Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Salsa:Award-Winning Language Program

Each branch will receive sets of the Salsa award-winning TV series, which was designed by leading language and early childhood experts to present Spanish language and culture to children in a fun and engaging way.

Young learners in kindergarten through third grade will enjoy Salsa the salamander and his puppet friends, who teach Spanish through familiar stories, sparkling animation, songs, and real life adventures.

All of the Salsa DVDs will be housed in the Easy Language Learning collection.

This DVD will be housed in the Juvenile DVD collection at each branch.
