From Grand Rapids to Mount Clemens – we are humbled that Michigan has given Basic ESL such a warm reception. We thank these libraries for promoting English literacy in their communities via Basic ESL. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For those unfamiliar, Basic ESL is a 3-Level English Language Learning course with native language support in 19 languages. Basic ESL is a traditional program and compliments other language learning resources like Mango and Pronunciator. The best part is that Basic ESL is 100% free for public libraries and library patrons.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Basic ESL is currently used in 28 states and Canada. <span style='color:black'>The three links below show the variety of ways Basic ESL can be added to a website. Look for the BASIC ESL button or link on these library websites and then try out BASIC ESL using “Instant Access”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.atlanticlibrary.org/databases">Atlantic County Library System (NJ)</a><span class=MsoHyperlink><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nrpl.org/whatsnew/">New Rochelle Public Library (NY)</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://cityofniceville.org/library.php">Niceville Public Library (FL)</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Signing up your Library is easy.
