Learn a New Language

 

You can easily search in the library catalog by language & keyword here, including the digital catalog, to find materials to help you learn a new language. And don't forget most of our DVDs come with subtitles, so search for international films as well.

Millburn Library patrons have access to Mango Languages and Rosetta Stone, both of which are available as a mobile app for learning on-the-go and offer dozens of languages.
