Libraries Are For Everyone: Tibetan

This Tigrigna translation comes from someone in Eritrea (just north of Ethiopia) who works for the BBC. Thank you for this translation!

Katy reached out to me on Facebook and sent me two Georgian translations from school librarian Maia Maglakelidze. Thank you so much, Maia!!! Public Libraries: School Libraries:

Laura and her team at Native Languages of the Americas continue to send me new translations, and I am thrilled. I wrote more about this wonderful non-profit in my Hopi LAFE post and I ask that you consider helping this organization in any way possible. Thank you to everyone involved in getting making these Cree…

This Kikuyu translation comes from a librarian named Joan in Massachusetts. She had reached out to a group of librarians to see if anyone could help translate LAFE into Kikuyu. Through them she was put in contact with an African languages specialist who asked a native speaker of Kikuyu for a translation. Whew! Thank you…

This Michif translation comes from a student at St. Joseph High School, Ottawa. Thank you so much for helping to spread the LAFE message!!! Michif is the beautifully complex language Métis people. The student explained that the first half “Baachiss poor lii liivr” essentially means “building for books.”

It’s a new translation from an awesome Peruvian musician Tayta Bird via Sarah Prokop, founder of Librarians Unite For Equal Rights. I hope to someday book both of them for an epic library dance party program. Seriously. Thank you, Tayta Bird and Sarah!!!
