Project Title: ESL Library Video

Project Description: We are producing a short explanative film that could be shown to English as Second Language (ESL) participants to better acquaint them with utilizing public libraries. The video will demonstrate the following: 1) how to fill out an application for a library card, 2) what materials and resources are available, 3) how to locate resources and 4) how to check out materials.

Notable accomplishment, promising practices, or human interest stories: Still in production.

Key lessons learned: Working with outside collaborators takes a lot more time, but is certainly worth it.

Advice for other libraries serving adult English language learners: Still in production.
