If you were assembling books for a small library, what are some must-haves you'd include?
The library will be for a group of people in another country learning English as a second language. Reading levels are all across the map.

Harry Potter has wide appeal, also available in a wide variety of languages.
I'd try to choose some top notch books from each genre, the classics as well as popular fiction. Stephen King, JRR Tolkien, Chuck Palahniuk, , Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens....fantasy, mystery, romance, thrillers, horror...
Sorry, I love books too much to be able to stock a small library. There's books overflowing every room of my house.

If you are including books for children who can read english, you should definetly include every book from the little house books, starting at little house in the big woods. Since they are learning english, you should have at least one computer, with the homepage as google translate, this site will teach you over 15 languages. To help children write english, you should purchase some writing books from zandler.com.....hope this helps!

You should definitely include visual dictionaries. Other suggestions are Anne of Green Gables, Chronicles of Narnia, The Ladies 1 #1 Detective Agency, Amelia Bedila books are good for idioms, Diary of Anne Frank, short stories by Poe, graphic novels of the classics, Ripley's Believe It or Not, cookbooks.
