Did you know we have a fun, fast and easy language learning program called Mango Languages?  The best part it is free for McCracken County Public Library  patrons and you can access it anywhere there is internet with your library card.

Mango is the easiest and most effective way to learn to speak a foreign language.  Mango is available in two versions:
