We are looking for volunteers to facilitate small groups of 6-10 adults at the library to help learners improve reading comprehension and conversational skills in an informal environment and enhance the joy of reading, discussing books, and sharing ideas with others.
Reading Club members are individuals improving their conversation skills through reading books in informal small groups. Second language learners enter this program reading at least at a 6th grade reading level. They may have been college-educated in their home country and are no longer beginning English learners, but want to work on their reading and conversation skills in order to learn about cultures in the United States.
- (minimum 8 hours training required)
- Thursdays, 12:00pm - 2:00pm at the Albany Library
