Free community language & cultural program! Spanish Songs & Stories

Fridays from 10:30-11:00 AM

April 28 – May 26, 2023

Join PBLS Staff & Volunteers for a FREE weekly Spanish language program–Spanish Songs & Stories--for families with young children. We are grateful for such wonderful collaborative partners in our community! This FREE community language & culture program is hosted each Friday from 10:30-11:00 AM in the Children’s Room in the Rockland Public Library (April 28 – May 26, 2023).

Each session focuses on basic exposure to foreign language and culture through traditional folk and children’s songs from Spain and Latin America. Vocabulary and themes are reinforced through read aloud activities with children’s books, poems, song lyrics and other authentic sources.

This class is especially fun for parents, grandparents, guardians, and older siblings interested in music, world languages and cultures, and lifelong learning!

No registration necessary for this event! We hope to see you at the library!

Private & Semi-Private Youth Tutorials

Scheduling is dependant on instructor availability (5-10 week sessions)
Online/In-person options
Pricing varies

We offer youth tutorials in just about every language we offer with our online and in-person adult classes. Tutorials (1:1) and semi-private tutorials (two or more students) offer a wonderful jump start on language learning–at any age. Semi-private lessons are for groups of two or more who wish to study with another person (i.e. a friend from school or a family member). Costs reflect the number of students for 10 hours of private instruction ranging from $265 – $395 based on standard pricing. Please contact Jared McCannell at [email protected] with inquiries regarding private and semi-private tutorials for youth learners, and/or more information about payment options for families–including any current discounts, promotions, or subsidies applicable/available at time of enrollment. Thank you!
