The following books and journal articles may be useful for students of Spanish in the SMU-in-Taos program. The Fort Library has only a few titles in Spanish/English, but we will continue to add dual-language books to support the language component of the curriculum.

Use PONI to determine the call numbers for these titles and to find other books.

For dictionaries and books about learning and teaching Spanish, search PONI using SPANISH LANGUAGE as a subject.
