And just like that, our 2026 Literacy in Bloom Gala was a success 🌻 Guests heard from our students, volunteers, partners, and special guest, New York Times best-selling author Scott Turow!

History came alive for members of our Harold Washington Library conversation group recently! 🏛️🦕🦴

The group was able to take a private tour of the Field Museum from a fellow student who works for the museum.

Conversation groups are so much more than English practice, they are places to learn about community and culture. And sometimes fossils! Learn more about our conversation groups at several different Chicago Public Library locations at the link below:
