New books – languages

January 21st, 2010 by mcarrolo in New Books

If you learnt a second language, think about the opportunities!

Opportunities that would allow you to get to know many more people and places; opportunities for you to read international newspapers, magazines and books. You could watch other movies and TV programs and access a whole new world on the internet.  You may even get that job you want because of your ability to speak a second language . 

At Ultimo TAFE Library we have boosted our language section with a collection of new books. We have added Indonesian, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Chinese language books. Language books and kits can be found on Level 2 between the dewey numbers 430 and 499.

These items will be on display on Level 2 New book stand. Have a look and feel free to borrow any that you find interesting.
