Learn English Online

Earlier this year, President Trump signed Executive Order 14238 that resulted in the loss of federal funding from the Institution of Museum and Library Services.  Funding from IMLS was used for a variety of purposes, including statewide databases.  Due to these cuts, several statewide databases will no longer be available beginning July 1st including Transparent Languages. For a list of databases that will be discontinued, as well as what will remain availble after July 1st, please review this flyer.
