Use your Hamilton County Library Card to learn other languages at home
This week I finally paid a library fine from 1999 and was reissued a library card for the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library. I’m excited that I get to use the library again, and look forward to checking out my first book. But since I have a two year old, I will be even more excited when I get the time to read the book.
But besides the benefit of checking out books, I get access to other services the library has. Such as the Rosetta Stone language series.
The way it works is you go to the library website and click on databases on the left side of the screen. Choose “Rosetta Stone” and once the page loads, click on register. You have to create a user name and password, give your name and library card number, and then you are ready to go.
Anytime you want to brush up on your Spanish, Farsi, or Chinese Mandarin, you can log in and start the different courses.
In our home we have been using the courses to help our son learn mouse skills and brush up on his English (he’s pretty good, too!).
So, take care of your library card and use it to its full potential. Or “tome el cuidado de su tarjeta de la biblioteca y utilícelo a su capacidad máxima.”

you know I think Betsy S used this library benefit for her boys in homeschooling, to help them with spanish. Cool idea, if I homeschool down the road. Thanks for reminding me.
