The Dual Language Books come in a variety of different languages. There are many different story books which are very popular and everyone can enjoy them no matter what age. The translation of the English text into another language is very accurate and there is also a glossary at the back of the book which has the English meaning for some words used in the story. These books are very interesting and fun to read and everyone is sure to enjoy them.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to list a few titles (authors) for these dual books. I've been looking for ages for something like this at the Burlington Public Library... and never been able to find such info. If I had a title and author maybe I'll be more successful!
Thank you,

We have approximately 47 titles in our Dual Language collection. Interestingly, when I search "dual language" in our catalogue all 47 titles show. When I search "dual language" in the Burlington Public Library catalogue I don't seem to get any relevant results. I would talk to a Librarian at the BPL to see if they have any Dual Language books available.
