(Old Bridge , NJ) - The Old Bridge Public Library has announced that the spring session of ESL , English-as-a-Second Language Conversation Group program, will be held on Tuesdays, beginning March 3rd at 7pm for 12 weeks.

The program enables participants to learn about life in the United States , increase their vocabulary, and even make new friends, while providing a comfortable, welcoming environment in which to learn.

Participants can expect to practice their English conversation skills in a group setting with trained volunteers. The focus of these conversations is on everyday topics, such as finding the right job, local news and other aspects of community life.

The ESL Conversation Group program is FREE and open to adults over the age of 18. Unfortunately, due to limited space, only Old Bridge residents or library cardholders are eligible to attend this group. Pre-registration is required prior to the first session. Please register in person starting February 16 at the Adult & Information Services desk.

ESL Conversation Group program is made possible in whole or in part by a Literacy Grant from the new Jersey State Library, an affiliate of Thomas Edison State College, with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act.

The Old Bridge Public Library is located in the Municipal Center at the corner of Route 516 and Cottrell Road.
