Language Courses Available Through County Library The Susquehanna County Library is pleased to announce that it now offers the Mango Languages online language-learning system, featuring eleven popular languages and ESL Spanish. Mango is free for all library patrons, and offers a fast and convenient solution for almost all needs. It can be accessed from home with a library card, and you can set up an account to track your progress. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses integrate vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture. Users learn actual conversation, breaking down complex conversational elements within an audio-visual framework that allows users to draw connections between pieces of information they have already learned. All languages (except Arabic, which will be enhanced later in the year) are available in two versions. Mango Complete is a 100-lesson course designed to provide a deep understanding of a language and its culture. Mango Basic teaches everyday greetings and helpful phrases in a short period of time; it's perfect for beginners and travelers. "We are thrilled to be able to add Mango Languages to our resources," says Administrator-Librarian Susan Stone. "We have many patrons who want to learn a new language or brush up their skills, whether it's for business, travel, self-improvement, or just for fun." The Susquehanna County Library was able to add the database despite the continuing budget cuts by re-allocating materials dollars and getting a discounted package with fewer languages than the normal subscription. "We are constantly evaluating the needs and requests of our users to maximize the value of what we can afford," adds Stone. Mango Languages joins the popular family history suite Ancestry.com/ Heritage Quest in the list of online resources offered at www.susqcolibrary.org. Don't have a computer? You can use the ones at the Library's four locations (Forest City, Hallstead-Great Bend, Montrose, and Susquehanna). For more information, contact the library via their website (www.susqcolibrary.org) or at 570-278-1881.

The monthly Community Vespers Service will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 9 at Historic St. Paul's Church, Montrose, PA. The evening service will be followed by a light supper in the Parish House. The Vespers Service is conducted by laypersons from the Montrose area churches. The laity serve as worship leaders and greeters. Local musicians who provide appropriate meditative musical selections join them in setting the quiet tone for the end of day worship. The word Vespers means “night” and was said and sung at the end of the day in churches both in the East and West. Some regular community vespers services are completely areligious (or at least are not sponsored by any church) and serve simply as a time for quiet contemplation in the evening hours. On Sunday, January 9, Duane Hinds will welcome the congregation. H. Chase and Cornelia Page will be greeters. Special music will be under the direction of Father Gerald Safko and Jean Starzec The introit will be played by Johanna Reed, French horn soloist.
