The Salt Lake Tribune Reports The Utah Library Division is doling out some of its yearly Federal Library Services & Technology Act money to help city and county libraries with the “largest and fastest-growing” Latino populations.
“Many of the immigrants coming to Utah speak Spanish and are not fluent in English,” State Librarian Donna Morris said. “We have identified libraries in Utah that do not have Spanish materials . . . and have made it a priority to better serve this underserved population.”
Salt Lake City’s libraries carry materials in 40 languages, including more than 23,000 books in Spanish.
