Best places to get baby books in Spanish?
Hi,
I would like to get some books in Spanish for my soon to be born baby. Does anyone know where would be the best places to look for some books? I tried posting ISO messages for second hand books on FB groups and Nextdoor, but was unsuccessful.
Thanks!

Your local public library.
We've acquired most of ours from library book sales.
So hard to find used Spanish books. If you consider new, check out LA librería http://www.la-libreria.net/. It's a bookstore in LA but they sell online founded by two moms who struggled with the limited selection of good Spanish books available. They import from Latin America & Spain. Barefootbooks (online) also has some books. Others to check out Loritobooks.com, multiculturalbooksandvideos.com, spanishpublishers.net (infantil/children section), Scholastic en Espanol-lots of translated books some good, some not so good.
The library.
Try the public library! Oakland's library has a good selection, I bet other cities do too.
I find a lot of bilingual books but not the same as if written in Spanish. If you are a Berkeley resident check out: http://www.thebbbp.org/. I’ve found some books at the book sales put on to support the local libraries (to own) and a few at the library bilingual storytimes (to borrow).
Good luck, d
Most if not al of the Oakland library branches have Spanish-language board books for little ones.
I suggest http://www.la-libreria.net/. I love this store but it’s in LA. It does look like they ship.
Try the Multicultural Children's Bookstore at the Hilltop Mall (now called The Shops at Hilltop). They had a wide variety of books in Spanish when I was there last. You could also try the Library book sales that happen periodically, they often have books in Spanish as well.
Believe it or not, Barnes and Noble has a decent selection of books in Spanish. Silver Moon Kids and Adventure Toys on Lakeshore both have some children’s board books in Spanish. Also, there is a collection of Spanish books called Bookmania at Kellys Corner in the Laurel District.
