If you or someone you know is in need of help learning English, the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System is a great place to direct them! Many of our library branches offer English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and those that don't may know of other local organizations that can offer help in this area. Below are a few of the current classes and their locations that are being offered by the library system, but be sure and call your local branch to see if they might also be able to guide patrons in need of this service to a useful resource.
