Language Discussion Groups

Language Group Banner Image

If you speak one of these languages, join a library language discussion group! Some groups meet online, others meet in person, and one meets in the library and online. 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 teacher and may have no native speakers. However, the library has many resources for language learning—ask us today!
