Our German: The Story of the Luxembourgish Language
Saturday, May 23, 1 p.m.
Augsburg Park Library, 7100 Nicollet Ave, Richfield, Minnesota

Presented by Matthew Foster, Twin Cities Luxembourg American Society board member, language nerd and proud dual citizen of Luxembourg and the United States. Note that this presentation is not sponsored by the Hennepin County Library.
