Florida Libraries Short on Spanish Language Material

From the Orlando Sentinal:

Vivian Irizarry visits the Buenaventura Lakes branch library in Osceola County every week. She devours Spanish translations of Danielle Steele, John Grisham and Mario Puzo, as well as books by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Her choice of reading material is skimpy. Although Osceola is nearly 30 percent Hispanic, Spanish-language materials account for slightly more than 1 percent of the total collection . . .
