Libraries Are For Everyone: Filipino & Tagalog

ByHafuboti

Cesar Ryan Santos (a.k.a. Homs Santos), a librarian from the Philippines, reached out to me to ask for a Filipino version of these signs. He was instrumental in figuring out how to break up the words so that it kept the meaning while looking good.

A few months later, a teacher librarian in the Seattle area named Julie reached out to me with a Tagalog translation provided by a fellow teacher’s parents. So I added it to this post since Tagalog is the standardized language of the Philippines.

Thank you so very much, Cesar/Homs, and Julie’s coworker’s parents!

  • Redesign Sign Time

    While our library spaces are closed to the public, we have been busy completing tasks that have long been on our to-do lists. For me, one of those things has been updating our signs throughout the Children’s Library. After unintentionally letting some things stagnate between 5-8 years, it seems painfully obvious that I need to…
