Dear
Team,
In
response to a suggestion made at the Director’s Chat, posted here https://hplnet.hpl.lib.tx.us/blogs/dir/dir_t1391622730-74.html,
I’d like to share with you some information. Unfortunately, the comments
feature does not work on the Director’s Chat blog, but here is my response:
“All
great suggestions and ideas! I would like to follow up with item #5 regarding
ESL classes at Collier Regional or a nearby site. Research was conducted to
determine if HPL staff should offer ESL classes at Collier, but a couple of
other organizations are already offering this service at sites/facilities
within a 3-5 miles radius from Collier Regional. Therefore, we have begun to
refer customers inquiring about ESL classes to these organizations--Avance,
http://www.avancehouston.org/esl-english-second-language , and Harris County
Department of Education, http://www.hcde-texas.org/default.aspx?name=AdultEducation .
We'll continue to explore the possibility of partnering with one of these two
organizations to offer this service on site. Thank you! -Marcos”
In
the meantime, please refer customers to Avance or Harris County Dept. of
Education. I’ll also post this on the Collier blog for easy access with link to
their sites and phone numbers listed.
Avance phone#: (713) 812-0033
Harris County Dept. of Edu. phone#: (713) 692-6216
Thank
you,
Marcos Martinez
