    Hello!

    We are updating our list of resources (online and offline) and books about education in zoos, museums, science centers, etc., in Spanish and English. Would love to include your suggestions. I promise to share it after it's done!

    Thank you!

    Hi Farah --

    Jon Kohl's book is (I think) available in Spanish as well as English (he
    has other books/resources in both languages):

    Interpretive Theme Writer's Field Guild (How to Write a Strong Theme
    from Big Idea to Presentation)
    https://www.pupconsortium.net/featured-publications

    and my book (English only):

    Electric Lemons: Interpretation and the Art of Writing
    https://skysingerpress.com/electric-lemons/

    National Association for Interpretation (NAI) offers webinars and other
    programs:
    https://www.interpnet.com/

    International Museum Theatre Alliance (IMTAL) also has good resources
    for education and interpretation for a wide range of venues:

    I have been putting together a growing list of books for museum technicians, designers, preparators, and handlers. It's a living list, that grows over time....

    It's here, I hope you find a new gem:
