Learning with libraries

Learning in libraries

Whether it's a regular group, a computer class or a chance to take part in a national initiative like the Festival of Learning, there are a range of adult learning services in our libraries.

Computer skills for beginners

Are you a complete beginner with computers? Find out about our beginners sessions at our UK Online Centres and other library sessions.

English conversation

We have regular groups in some of our libraries and are seeking volunteers to set up new ones where we know there is a demand. So if you would like an opportunity to practice speaking English in a relaxed and informal environment, contact your local library to see if they have a group. If you would like to volunteer to help run a group, please follow the volunteer quick link above.
