For more information, please visit English At Large.  Registration is required to regularly attend conversation groups. Register ****HERE**** The Burlington Public Library has partnered with English At Large to host conversation groups at the library. English At Large conversation groups are groups of 8-12 learners who meet weekly to practice their English speaking skills. The groups provide an opportunity for learners to improve their speaking confidence and meet other adults who are learning English. All groups are free! There is no cost to attend our conversation groups. All adults who want to practice their English speaking skills are welcome at our groups. We recommend that you have at least an intermediate English speaking level. If you can speak on the telephone without too much difficulty, your English speaking ability is likely at an intermediate level. Conversation groups are not English classes. Our trained volunteers focus mainly on listening and speaking, and less on reading and writing. Topics usually covered in conversation groups include American culture and holidays, idioms, casual spoken English, and daily life situations (the bank, the post office, speaking with neighbors, etc.). https://burlington.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/english-at-large-conversation-group-30/

THIS SESSION ONLY - Meet UPSTAIRS due to the Book Sale! Drop-in for an evening of strategic tabletop fun at the Burlington Public Library Board Game Group. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a curious newcomer, we welcome those age 16+ to get hooked on the amazing hobby of tabletop board games. 6:30PM - Formal Start Time (the room will be open starting at 6PM if you'd like to set up a larger game) We will have a bunch of tables and a bunch of games ready for groups to enjoy!  Typically one or two groups will play a "heavier", more complex title while another couple of tables will enjoy easy to learn party games and classics.   Guidelines: No registration required - just drop in! We will have limited dry snacks on hand. No drinks will be permitted at the game tables but you can have a beverage nearby! This is a program for adults and older teens only - we have plenty of other great events for youth and all the games we feature will be available for loan after the event to play with any group you'd like! You're welcome to bring your own games from home, but the Library is not responsible for any lost/damaged pieces. Also, don't bring games that typically take longer than an hour to play.
