Example of Spanish Library Card Application
6:58 PM EDT 8/2/06
I need examples of Spanish language library card applications. We are updating our current forms and I know there are some things we could change to make them more "Latino friendly." For example, only ask for first, middle and last name which could be confusing to someone with five names.
Please post examples if possible!
Thanks,

Hi Stephanie,
Here's one good template, from the SOL site (Spanish in Our Libraries):
http://www.sol-plus.net/plus/services/app.htm

You may also find some good examples on the REFORMA list of library websites with information in Spanish: http://www.reforma.org/spanishwebsites.htm

Hi Stephanie,

I like the examples on the SOL/PLUS site because they have the English and Spanish side by side on the application.

Here is another example from a library in Wisconsin that uses separate Spanish and English application forms:

And here is a link to the San Diego Library's applications. They also use separate English and Spanish forms: http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/services/library.card.shtml#downloadcard

Please be sure to post the translation that you end of using!

Stephanie:

Attached you will find the Spanish Library Card Application in Spanish for the Las Vegas Clark County Library District, Las Vegas, Nevada.

One PDF is the front side while the other PDF is the back side of the application.

Good luck,
