Language Discussion Groups

Language Group Banner Image

If you speak one of these languages, join a library language discussion group! Some groups meet online and others meet in-person at the library. Groups that meet in-person gather in the Hilton Garden Inn room or the MacLeod Board Room on the second floor. 

Please note that each group is volunteer-facilitated. These are not classes. They will have no teachers and may have no native speakers. However, the library has many resources for language learning—ask us today!
