The Old Bridge Public Library has announced that the spring session of ESL (English-as-a-Second Language) Conversation Group program will be held at the Central library on Tuesdays at 7pm, beginning February 16.

This 12-week 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, but due to limited space is open only to Old Bridge residents over the age of 18. In-person registration is REQUIRED and begins on Monday, January 25. Please register, showing proof of Old Bridge residency, at the Adult & Information Services desk. No phone registration will be accepted.

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

For further information about this and other library programs, call the Adult & Information Services Department, at: 732-721-5600, ext. 5033.
