Monthly meeting

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT.
Come be a part of our newest book club at Olive or Twist (6906 Windsor Ave) in Berwyn’s historic Depot District. We don’t discuss one book, but lots of titles! Come and tell us what you have read and loved, then mingle and chat with other book lovers. This eclectic martini bar offers a refreshing backdrop to thoughtful literary conversations.

Join us to learn more about applying for citizenship. We'll also help you study for the test and practice for the interview.

Practice makes perfect! Our ESL study group is for beginner and intermediate adult learners who want to improve English listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students at a very low level or a very high level may benefit from the group, but everyone is welcome.

If you want to practice conversation only, please try Conversation Cafe, a program held by Literacy Volunteers of Western Cook County, which meets Saturday mornings from 9:30-11 am at 125 N. Marion St., Suite 301, Oak Park, IL 60301. Please call (708) 848-8499 to register for Conversation Cafe before attending.

After taking pre-tests to determine which subjects need improvement, students study for the GED test using a personalized learning plan. Some topics are studied as a group, while others topics may be studied one-to-one with a tutor, or studied independently using suggested materials. Students may use a library card to check out study books. When students are ready, they can take a mock-GED full-length test to simulate the complete experience, which will let them know if they are truly ready to pass the test.

Learn and review basic math concepts including whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percents, basic algebra, basic geometry, measurement, graphs/charts, and word problems. The topics covered in this study group are represented on most standardized tests such as the TABE, GED, SAT/ACT, COMPASS, Accuplacer, ASVAB, GRE, and the GMAT. Berwyn residents receive priority registration in this drop-in group. Adults 18 and older.
