We are starting a new, beginning only class at the Coralville Library on Friday mornings, 9:30-11:00AM.  There is only 1 teacher for this single class, so enrollment will be limited to people with very little knowledge of English.  If you think you might need a beginning class, registration will be 9:30-11:00 on Friday, February 3rd.  Classes will begin on Friday, February 10th.  The Coralville Public Library is at 1401 5th St. in Coralville.

If you have children in the local school system, there is also an evening class at Grant Wood Elementary School in Iowa city on Monday/Wednesday 6:00PM-7:30PM, starting on January 23rd.
