Central Library

Rasmussen South

Practice your pronunciation, build your vocabulary, and follow interesting stories while reading a book with other English language learners. While reading aloud is recommended, it's not required. 

There are 2 schedules for ESL Book Club: every other Thursday at 10 a.m. and every other Thursday at 1 p.m. Both sessions will cover the same content. 

This season, we'll be reading What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella. Books will be available during the first meeting.
