Denver Library plan sparks debate

Rocky Mountain News has more on a controversial part of a plan to overhaul Denver’s library system.
Under the proposal, all libraries would retain a core of basic services and materials, city librarian Rick Ashton has said. But many collections at a particular branch would be tailored to the interests of its patrons.Among the “service styles” are “Learning and Language” branches with both English and Spanish materials and services. These branches would feature a bilingual staff, more Spanish-language books and magazines, adult classes and language materials for Denver’s burgeoning immigrant community.
