Several Cambridgeshire Libraries, including Central Library Cambridge, Huntingdon and Wisbech, have picture books and storybooks in a wide variety of languages for children whose first language is not English. Many of the books are bilingual, with the words both in English and another language.
- In our libraries, the books have a sticker on the spine which has JFL + the first three lettters of the language e.g. JFL BEN for books in Bengali, JFL SPA for Spanish books.
- To search the library catalogue for them, simply type jfl + the first three letters of the language into the search box, e.g. jfl chi for children's books in Chinese, then change 'words and phrase' to 'class number'.
You can request any of the books free of charge.
