Library offers language learning
The Thunder Bay Public Library is making it possible to learn a new language through your computer. It's providing a program called Powerspeak Languages. The Librarys' Joanna Aegard says it's being tested for a year thanks to the Ontario taxpayer. She says if it's popular officials will make it available for longer. Right now four languages are available: French, Spanish, German and Chinese. A library card is required to access the service. Simply go to the library website, choose Virtual Collection click on the sleeping giant logo and then log in.
