A 2022-2023 survey by the Public Library Association found that a majority of adult learners are immigrants, refugees, or multilingual speakers, with 58% of participants in adult ed programs enrolled in ELL and ESL classes.

These learners bring a wealth of linguistic and cultural resources, but they may find it challenging to navigate a different educational system.

Competent adult education programs recognize learners’ diverse backgrounds, respect cultural practices, and encourage learning environments where experiences are shared and valued.

WE'VE MOVED (ROOMS)!

For those that don't know, LBN has moved its main office space inside the Central Library to a new location — still on the 2nd floor. Stop in and say hello!

We could not be more grateful to Buffalo & Erie County Public Library for their decades of continued collaboration with LBN.
