Cornwall Public Library Newsletter                                   JANUARY 2014

Learn Something New

in the New Year

 

     The library now offers Mango, a language-learning database that is available for you to use both in the library and on the go. Brush up on the French that you learned in high school, prepare
for an upcoming trip abroad, review your Spanish for a new job, or simply learn a new language to expand your mind.
     To use Mango, go to Cornwall Public Library's website (www.cornwallpubliclibrary.org), click on Databases, and scroll down to Mango Language Learning. The first time you access Mango, you will need to set up an account. Once your account is created, you simply start learning.
     If you'd like to access Mango on your mobile device, download the free Mango app from the
app store that you use, sign in, and start learning.
