Many readers want to buy and engage with Spanish language books at their local indie bookstore, but curating a meaningful selection can feel overwhelming. This session will guide you through how to source quality titles, evaluate translators, and discover essential tools for informed purchasing decisions. You'll also explore ways to connect with Spanish-speaking communities in your area — through inclusive events, local partnerships, and culturally relevant programming. You'll leave with actionable ideas to build not only a strong Spanish language section, but a welcoming space where more readers feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
