 The library’s adult foreign language books are located on the second floor of the library in the Reference Department. Polish materials make up the largest portion of the collection with over 700 books! Spanish is the next largest collection with over 150 books. The rest of the foreign language collection is made up of small collections of French, German, and Italian books.
The foreign language magazines that the library subscribes to include five Polish language magazines: Cosmopolitan, Forum, Prze Krog, Uroda and Wprost. The library also subscribes to Fra Noi (Italian), Paris Match (French), and People en Espanol (Spanish). These publications can be found by the foreign language books in the Reference Department. Older editions may be checked out for three weeks while the current issues are non-circulating. The library also subscribes to the Polish newspaper Dziennik Zwiazkowy.
Due to a patron's generosity, the library now has issues of the Polish Magazines Auto Swiat, Lotnictwo, Nowa Technika, Odkrywca, Poligon, Raport and Skrzydlata Polska. To check out these new magazines see the Reference Staff.
