Library Orientations: The Library offers orientations for all incoming classes. Presentations are made in the library conference room where librarians brief students on library services, survey the library web site and highlight useful links to assist with language learning. After the briefing, the students are taken for a tour of the library to point out the location of various materials and services. Librarians like to know the language of the class in advance so they can focus their presentation on the language the students are learning. Teachers may call the Reference desk at 242-6948 to schedule a library orientation.
