Here you'll find the latest English-language coverage of Spanish-language authors, book reviews (criticas libros), best sellers, and more from the editors of Library Journal and School Library Journal. In response to reader demand following the suspension of Criticas in February 2009, LJ and SLJ have resumed reviewing Spanish-language books for adults and children. Adult books will be reviewed monthly, and children's titles every other month. Let us know what you think by emailing Barbara Hoffert at bhoffert@mediasourceinc.com.
