Reference and Adult Services Division of the Suffolk County Library Association
MOSAIC will be having our first meeting of the new year on Tuesday, January 12, at SCLS. Coffee will be at 9:30am and our meeting will start at 10am.
We will be having a roundtable discussion covering two topics that were proposed at our last meeting: best practices of welcoming parents of English Language Learners (ELL) in the library and English conversation groups for adults. Our hope is to put together a one/two page information guide that can be shared. Please bring your ideas and/or resources to contribute.
If you have any questions, please contact Amber Sroka: srokaamber@middlecountrypubliclibrary.org or Gilda Ramos: gramos@pmlib.org.
New Members Welcome!
