"Just-for-fun" reading in MVCC's most-spoken languages. This collection was made possible by a New Initiatives Grant from the Central New York Library Resources Council.

About the Multilingual Collection

Through a 2023 New Initiatives grant from CLRC we are extending our extremely popular leisure reading to languages beyond English.
