How could anyone who values the pursuit of knowledge not love conventional libraries? They are far more than dusty repositories. Here is a wonderful link for a student poem about libraries and what they can mean to our students:

I have constantly used the public library to support my teaching and my own learning, although, as a library patron with advanced research skills in some domains, I generally prefer specialized libraries.
Among the resources that secondary World Language teachers can exploit are: books in other languages at all levels of difficulty; multicultural recorded media; multicultural events; and best of all, "real people" to help with inquiries and to guide our fledgling scholars!
Now that I have an OCD projector in my room, I have been able to demonstrate the resources available to students through local libraries and MnLINK. My experiences with MnLINK have always been extremely positive. I credit my colleagues in other fields, especially those in Social Studies, for their excellent work in orienting students to the treasures that await them, including the use of ILL for the most advanced.
