Prizes will include HP books, movies, posters, and other miscellaneous items. If you would like to be the first person to pick from our prizes all you have to do is answer some questions.

Surrey Township Public Library is proud to announce the addition of the Mango Languages online language-learning system to our available resources. Mango is free of charge to patrons, and offers a fun, fast and convenient solution to our community’s growing language learning needs. It’s the easiest way to learn to speak a foreign language!
Mango’s online language learning system focuses on teaching actual conversation skills for a wide variety of languages. Each lesson combines real-life situations and audio from native speakers with an easy-to-follow interface and simple, clear instructions. Because it's completely web based, library patrons can learn anywhere they have an internet connection — at the library, a coffee shop, or even at home in bed. It’s so effective and easy to use, you’ll be speaking a new language after just one lesson!
Mango Languages currently offers 12 language courses — Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, ESL for Polish speakers, ESL for Spanish speakers, and ESL for Brazilian Portuguese speakers — with many more on the way.
Mango Languages recently took second place in the Education category of the “Web 2.0 Awards” by SEOmoz and has been recommended by Education World for foreign language learning.
