Mango Week, and More!

This week the whole East Longmeadow Library is acting a little silly. From Sombreros, to chili pepper necklaces, and everyone speaking a different language- it must be Mango week! What is Mango week? Well, its a time to get to know a really cool program that we offer at the library. Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish, or Greek, or Japanese? All you need is your East Longmeadow Library card and interntet acess and ta-da! You're bilingual! Stop by the library and check out a free demo, gets some books on other countries, and play a neat game in the children's department (AND, check out everyones nifty duds). Come by any time when the libray is open Tuesday, 8/24- Thursday, 8/26.
