Practice speaking English, improve your conversational skills, and learn about other cultures at the English language learning conversation groups here at the Library. Our groups meet:
Mondays, 10:00AM – 12:00PM in the Flett Room, beginning Sept. 16th
Wednesdays, 7:00PM – 8:30PM in the Flett Room, beginning Sept. 18th
No registration is necessary, just drop in. All meetings are free and open to the public. Please be aware that this is not an English class with a structured step-by-step curriculum. Instead, it is a chance to practice speaking, listening, and reading in a welcoming environment with guidance from the group leader. The skill level will be determined at the first few meetings, depending on the level of the participants. For more information please call the reference desk, 617-993-2870.
Try out the new Weiss Financial Ratings database, available as a 6-month trial, and take charge of your financial health. Check ratings and performance of not only stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs, but also your bank, credit union, and insurance companies – all in one place.
Set up a “watch list” of the securities and companies you follow and get automatic alerts when ratings change. Read news and opinion articles about investment topics by experienced Weiss Ratings analysts. Create your own “screeners” to compare companies or investments using criteria that are important to you.
Compare the new Weiss Ratings to our other investment databases and tell us which ones we should keep:
All three databases offer independent analysis and provide educational materials, such as articles, videos, or short courses on investment topics. Find them on our website at Subject Guide > Business and Career. At-home access requires a Belmont library card.
Which of the three databases best meet your needs? To let us know which investment resources you would like us to provide, please take our five-minute survey. Want help? Email: [email protected] or call 617-993-2870.
