I'm working with a hospital which wants to build a small collection in
their waiting room for families, in languages they see frequently. They
serve a lot of refugee families from various places. I don't have any
regular vendors for (and no experience in acquiring) materials in languages
other than the usual European suspects...
I am hoping this group can share their favorite venues to purchase
non-academic material in non-European languages. Or resources I can pass
along to these folks....they'll be the ones doing the purchasing, since
they have the grant! It's possible they will want some sort of selection
help, as well, if a vendor will provide that.
She mentioned specifically they are looking for materials in Dari, Pashto,
Arabic, Nepali, and a few others...
I did find the Foreign Book Dealer Directory
<http://www.ala.org/CFApps/bookdealers/>....didn't know if this list had
any further advice/resources. Thank you!
