What happens

  1. Come at the start time and sit at any table.
  2. A volunteer starts the talk with a topic; you talk about anything after.
  3. If you want classes as well, we tell you where the free ones are.
Ruth Adeyemi, head librarian

Nobody has to explain why they came in. A library is the last room in town where you can sit down without buying anything.

People ask

I am a beginner. Is it for me?

Yes. One table is always for beginners, with picture cards and a slow pace.
