Collection
A. I selected and ordered 32 fiction books on tape and 4 language cassette courses. The language cassettes were
English for Spanish Speakers (2), English for Vietnamese (1), and Savvy Traveler Spanish.

pamphlets on boat safety and handling from the Department of Natural Resources and U. S. Corps of
Engineers. The boating pamphlets we had were outdated.
