Learn a Language

EPL has access to a number of language learning books and CDs and some books in other languages on shelf, but this is only the beginning! Evanston cardholders can access Hoopla, which has a wide variety of language learning audiobooks.

Even better, Evanston cardholders have free access to Mango Languages, a language learning software and app with courses for over 70 languages.

Once you’re ready for some conversational language practice, come to one of our Language Cafe meetings in partnership with INT’L Cafe. Language cafes consist of informal conversations. Languages that are typically represented at EPL’s Language Cafes include (but are not limited to): Spanish, English, French, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Italian.
