Local English As a Second Language (ESL) Resources

Memorial Hall Library has a special English As a Second Language collection located on the ground floor of the library. Call numbers for all items in this collection begin with ESL. The collection includes book and workbook materials, dictionaries, readers with cassette tapes/CDs, and ESL videos.

We can also borrow ESL materials from other area libraries. If you don't find what you need, consult one of our Reference librarians.
