Library Updating Language Bank
The library is updating its Language Bank, a list of community residents who speak and/or read foreign languages and who are willing to assist others with brief translations. The library provides the names and phone numbers of people with interpretive skills to clients seeking this expertise. All fees for services are handled between interpreter and client.
The Racine Languages Bank presents a picture of the large number of different languages spoken by citizens of our community. Interpreters for both oral and written translation are being sought. A long or technical translation may involve a fee. If so, those arrangements are worked out between the client and the translator.
To add your name to the Language Bank, please call the library at 262-636-9217, or visit the library's website at www.racinelibrary.info and fill out the form on the "Translator Registration."

Library Looking for Translators
Taler De dansk? Fala português? Mluvíte česky? If you speak or write Danish, Portuguese, Czech or any one of the many world languages, the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., would like to add you to their Language Bank.
The library uses the Language Bank to make referrals when requests are made for someone to translate such things as a postcard, letter, birth certificate or other document, or to serve as an interpreter for a phone call or foreign visitor. People listed in the Language Bank are free to accept or deny requests on an individual basis and they may charge for their services or work pro bono.
There is currently no one listed in the Language Bank for the following languages: Armenian, Arabic, Bengal, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, Gaelic, Modern Greek, Modern Hebrew, Icelandic, Korean, Latin, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
If you are fluent in or have a working knowledge of a second language and are willing to help the community out, please contact the Racine Public Library at 262- 636-9217.
