Excerpt:
The library will become more a familiar place to Hispanic residents this summer as a result of efforts by its staff members and The Neighbors’ Place.

A nine-week computer class for Spanish speakers began June 13 at the Marathon County Public Library’s downtown Wausau headquarters at 300 N. First St.

The nine adults in the class will learn basic computer skills, including vocabulary and how to navigate the Internet, said Jennifer Lund, director of multicultural outreach and adult education at The Neighbors’ Place.

Lund encouraged the students to bring their children so they can participate in story time and other activities.

The offerings will allow families to learn about what the library has to offer while helping to improve their English skills, said Lund, who teaches the course.
