Foreign-language books are welcome at NMLP in any language and any condition.
Languages NMLP regularly routes:
- Spanish: highest volume; copies that sell are resold to fund the pickups, and readable copies go free to Little Free Libraries around town.
- Diné (Navajo): resold or passed on free to Little Free Libraries and community literacy partners.
- Vietnamese — Albuquerque has a longstanding Vietnamese community; copies are resold or go free to Little Free Libraries around town.
- Mandarin Chinese — resold where there is demand, or free to Little Free Libraries around town.
- Russian, Ukrainian — thin supply. These are resold into the collector and language-learner market rather than routed locally.
- Arabic, Farsi, Pashto — same model. Accepted in any condition; resold where there is demand, recycled where there is not.
- French, German, Italian — language teachers and learners; some private collectors of vintage editions.
If you have a language collection from a former language teacher, immigrant family member, or international student, NMLP routes carefully. Free pickup across the Albuquerque metro. 505-250-3804.
