Information Session for Adult English Learners

This informal information session is for adult English-language learners seeking resources, support, and opportunities to practice. Members of the Boston Public Library’s Literacy Services team will explain how to register for grammar classes, describe informal conversation groups, and answer questions about local programs and services.

The session is intended to provide information and connections rather than formal instruction. It is not an English class.
