Bilingual children's books

[Laurie Iudin-Nelson]

Dear Colleagues,

Our community in Northeastern Iowa is experiencing a significant increase
in the number of Russian-speaking immigrant families.  The local library is
committed to purchasing materials that will help children and their parents
both integrate into the English-speaking community and retain native
language skills.  In particular, the library would like information about:

1) bilingual books (English and Russian) for young children;
2) parenting books/materials (in Russian);
3) newspaper/magazine subscriptions (in Russian).

Luther College has a good collection of Russian literature (and works in
translation), so the above-listed needs are most important at this time.

If you have suggestions/sources that I can pass along to the local library,
please contact me off list.

Thanks in advance,
Laurie Iudin-Nelson
