communities. Local chapters will have the opportunity to
promote specific projects at their branches. Thus they can truly make a
difference in their libraries. Some possibilities for local chapters are: Classes in conversational English are held at the Brighton and Commerce City branches. These classes are free but require registration. The Perl Mack Genealogy Group
