Browse our Local History/Special Collections Materials!
The Local History/Special Collections Branch will begin highlighting new acquisitions on the branch web page beginning in January 2021. It will be updated on a monthly basis. While LH/SC materials do not circulate, you should still take a peek online. You may find that we have that expensive new reference book you need for a work or school project!

New Spanish-Language Materials
|
|

Come check out our Spanish-language materials!
Books, audiobooks, periodicals and other materials in Spanish are available at all four Alexandria Library branches -- Barrett, Beatley, Burke and Duncan -- for children, teens and adults. Once you click the catalog links, you can use the filters on the left side of the page to narrow your results by branch, age group, and other criteria. Remember, you can place items on hold from any branch so they can be sent to your home branch.
We also have Spanish ebooks and audiobooks, emagazines and other electronic resources available from the comfort of your own home or wherever an internet connection is available! Please be sure to have your library card handy to borrow electronic items.
¡Vengan a ver nuestra colección en español!
Los libros, audiolibros, publicaciones periódicas, libros y revistas electrónicos, y otros recursos electrónicos en español están disponibles en las cuatro sucursales de la Biblioteca de Alexandria (Barrett, Beatley, Burke y Duncan) para niños, adolescentes y adultos.
