Conversation Circles

The Library’s Conversation Circles are volunteer-led casual gatherings aimed at helping people improve their language skills by speaking and interacting with other learners. All Conversation Circles are free and open to the public.

Contact Jianna Christopher (978-256-5521 x1107) with questions about any of our Conversation Circles.

The Library also maintains a list of language-learning resources for Conversation Circle volunteers and members.

Please note: Since COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, some of our conversation circles are beginning to meet in person. Check the calendar for specific locations.
