PCI Webinar Circulation Desk Spanish
Would you like to be able to say a few phrases in Spanish to help Spanish speakers feel welcome? In this webinar, you will learn some basic vocabulary to greet patrons and discuss various circulation components, such as check-in and checkout, that will get Spanish speakers started using the library.
As a result of attending, participants will be able to:
· Greet patrons in Spanish
· Answer directional questions that will help Spanish speakers get started using the library
· Refer patrons to someone who does speak Spanish for more in-depth questions.
