English Language Learning

---

Saratoga Springs Public Library offers classes in English Language Learning at no cost. Beginning and intermediate level classes focus on developing English language vocabulary, fluency, and reading skills in a group setting. The classes create a fun and friendly learning environment for practicing English. Our literacy volunteer teachers seek to help students feel comfortable and confident in using English in their daily lives within a diverse American culture.

Classes are located in the Glasby Room on the ground floor of the library, down the hall from the Children's Room. Across from the Glasby Room is a small collection of English Language Learning materials available for users to sign out.
