The Leamos Collection

The department of World Languages and Cultures is setting up a new Spanish library for novice readers in which students are the authors and illustrators.  WLC and the Welch School of Art & Design are collaborating on this innovative project.

Dr. Victoria Rodrigo has created the Leamos Collection, and innovative reading project in which authors from the World Languages and Cultures and illustrators from the Ernest G.
