APRIL 2008
LANGUAGES AT THE LIBRARY The Chappaqua Library wants to help you learn another language. Learn Italian while you drive by listening to CDs in your car. Tuck a playaway into your pocket and learn Irish while you walk. Put an iSync on your iPod and learn Mandarin Chinese. Materials are available in many different formats, including books; one of our favorites is the Are you a speaker of English as a second language? Join us for informal conversation on Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 beginning April 5th. This free program is for adults who would like to improve their English speaking skills and will be facilitated by a certified ESL instructor. We also have many ESL materials including some new CDs and/or DVDs from the Living Language Company with titles such as English for the Real World, Easy Pronunciation, Getting Ahead in the U.S., and English for New Americans. |
Firefly Five Language Visual Dictionary in the reference collection.BABY CLOTHES FROM THE NEW CASTLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY “Babies are born without clothes. This is a situation that most parents and caregivers find unacceptable and set about to correct.” This is from the text accompanying the current exhibition of mostly 19th century baby clothes, caps and booties from the New Castle Historical Society’s collection. All items have been donated over the years by Chappaqua residents. |
