The Emily Fowler Central Library Travel Club will feature Oklahoma, our neighbor to the north this month on Saturday, February 4 at 2:00 pm at 502 Oakland St. More than just a football rival, Oklahoma offers the most diverse terrain in the United States. Much smaller in area than Texas, travel between Oklahoma regions can be accomplished easily over a long weekend. This presentation will feature maps, photos, souvenirs and stories about the Sooner State. Bring your questions and your input to share during this informal and informative travelogue.

English Conversation Club
Practice English in a relaxed, informal setting with others who want to improve their language skills.
If you are learning the English language, or would like to practice conversing in English, come join us at the Conversation Club. Participants should have some basic knowledge of the English language before joining. Each week, a different topic is discussed between the participants and instructor so that a variety of vocabulary words are used and their context understood. Participants needing help with certain aspects of the language are encouraged to ask for help in those areas. This is also a great way to start using what you have learned in ESL classes. All ages are welcome.
When: Every Thursday at 7:00 pm
Where: Emily Fowler Central Library located at 502 Oakland Street
For more information, call 940-349-8752 or email laura.hurd@cityofdenton.com.
