What you need to know
New students wishing to register for the spring course must attend an in-person sign-up in the library’s ESL classroom from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.
The classes are entirely free and include courses for beginner-, intermediate- and advanced-level English speakers. Classes are limited to 18 students per session.
Should classes reach capacity, those remaining will be placed on a waitlist.
A schedule of ESL classes can be found on the library’s website.
Also of note
In addition to numerous ESL classes offered, the library hosted a U.S. Citizenship Ceremony for 25 individuals in 2023.
The 66,000-square-foot library building, funded by a 2013 voter-approved bond, took nearly a decade to complete. January marks the one-year anniversary of the new building.
Last year’s grand opening saw a total of 11,000 people and resulted in a 30% increase in visitors and checkouts, according to a library newsletter.
