Learning a foreign language?

Are you interested in learning Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, French, or Russian? Online courses in these languages and many others are available to you to free! All you need is a library card. The Denver Public Library offers this service through a product called Mango Languages. Many other libraries offer similar services, ask your friendly librarian to show you how to determine if your home library offers this product.

For example, though, if you go to the homepage of the Denver Public Library, click on Reference Resources, then click on Databases A-Z, you can scroll down to Mango Languages, and learn away!

As we spend time this week reflecting on the time we've had this Lenten season, we have the opportunity now to look ahead to Easter. This is Holy Week, next week is Easter week, and that'll bring some changes to the library's hours. So, for this week and next week, the Cardinal Stafford Library will be open:

Holy Week

8am-4pm Thursday
CLOSED GOOD FRIDAY
CLOSED HOLY SATURDAY
CLOSED EASTER SUNDAY

Easter Week
8am-6pm Monday-Friday
10am-4pm Saturday

Regular Academic Year Hours for the Library will resume Monday, April 20th, and you can find all of this information on the Library's website. Have a blessed Easter!
