In Fall 2006, the America Reads Spanish campaign launched an on-line survey addressed to librarians in charge of Latin American collections in public, academic and research libraries in the U.S. to solicit recommendations for core Spanish language titles in fiction, poetry, theater, essays, reference works and children’s literature. From those recommendations, this bibliography lists 500 works essential to Spanish reading.
