PolyTalk Translation Services

PolyTalkPolyTalk is a growing network of volunteer interpreters who help librarians and patrons communicate with one another. Nearly one in five Illinois residents speaks a language other than English. PolyTalk volunteers bridge these language barriers to make the resources of all Illinois libraries available to all patrons.
