STPL now delivers books and audio books to homebound patrons absolutely free of charge. Anyone interested in receiving this service should fill out a questionnaire available at the library. If you cannot make it into the library to fill one out you can call the library and ask where the nearest drop off location is to your home. If you know someone who would benefit from this service you can take the survey to them and return it to the library or mail it to us. We will only be able to service about 10 patrons per township until we have more volunteers for the program. If you have any questions please contact Nona Harmon at 588-9782 Monday thru Friday.
If you would like to become a volunteer for this program please call Nona Harmon as well. We need drivers to go to Surrey, Freeman, Garfield, and Grant townships.
Surrey Township Public Library is proud to announce the addition of the Mango Languages online language-learning system to our available resources. Mango is free of charge to patrons, and offers a fun, fast and convenient solution to our community’s growing language learning needs. It’s the easiest way to learn to speak a foreign language!
Mango’s online language learning system focuses on teaching actual conversation skills for a wide variety of languages. Each lesson combines real-life situations and audio from native speakers with an easy-to-follow interface and simple, clear instructions. Because it's completely web based, library patrons can learn anywhere they have an internet connection — at the library, a coffee shop, or even at home in bed. It’s so effective and easy to use, you’ll be speaking a new language after just one lesson!
Mango Languages currently offers 12 language courses — Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, ESL for Polish speakers, ESL for Spanish speakers, and ESL for Brazilian Portuguese speakers — with many more on the way.
Mango Languages recently took second place in the Education category of the “Web 2.0 Awards” by SEOmoz and has been recommended by Education World for foreign language learning. Learn more about Mango Languages at www.mangolanguages.com or by clicking on the Mango Languages link at the bottom of the page.
