Presented by the Library Board of Trustees & Friends of the Simsbury Public Library


The Simsbury Library is pleased to offer new service: IndieFlix.

IndieFlix is a web site, available to Simsbury Library cardholders, that allows you to watch movies on your computer or mobile device, like a smartphone or tablet computer.

  • HOW DOES IT WORK ?

IndieFlix lets you watch movies in the Internet browser of your choice. No other software or equipment is necessary. You will be asked to create a free account with an email address and a password. Then you will be asked for your Library card number. Remember, this will only work with Simsbury Library cards.

Read more about this great new service here.

FREE LANGUAGE CLASSES AT THE SIMSBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY

 

The Library is offering a variety of free “drop-in” conversational language classes on the upper level of the Library. 

  • Tuesdays from 10:30 to11:15 AM, the Conversational English Group is meeting. This group is for adults (18+) wishing to improve their spoken English. The class welcomes people who are just beginning to learn English or who have limited skills in speaking English. Marty Allison, English teacher and public relations professional, leads the informal classes.

  • Conversational French Group is held on Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Led by native French speaker Christian Gaborit, this group is for people interested in refreshing their knowledge of the French language or perhaps learning enough to just get by on a visit to the country. 

  • Mandarin Chinese Conversation Class is held on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Open to all ages and ability levels, from very basic to advanced Mandarin, the class is led by Yunan Jiang, native-born Chinese teacher and local businesswoman.

For more information or to register, visit the Library website at www.simsburylibrary.info or contact Susan Bullock at 860-658-7663 x2103 orsbullock@simsburylibrary.info.
