Students in grades 6-8 are invited to sign up for a free class to improve their speaking skills for school presentations and formal speeches.

Student-teacher Ashley Wang, a junior at The Branson School, took speech classes throughout middle school and is a former champion of the Marin County Margie Burke Speech Tournament.

Ashley will help middle school students develop crucial public speaking skills, lessons that are not always available in school settings.

In this class, Impromptu Speaking Skills will be introduced and students will walk out of the course confident in speaking on the spot on various topics. Ashley will teach students skills, tips, and tricks that can be applied to formal speech structures, classroom discussions and presentations, and everything in between.

Middle school students who attended our previous public speaking class can sign up again to build on their skills, and new students are invited to participate.

The first session in January will summarize and review the material previously covered, and the next six sessions will introduce new concepts and provide experience and peer feedback.

The one-hour class will be held on seven Saturday afternoons at the Library. Students should attend all sessions if possible. There will be a snack/restroom break halfway through the hour.

About the branch

The Library was designed by the firm of Bull, Stockwell, and Allen. The architectural style is that of the 19th century railroad yard in Tiburon. 
 
The site is part of the landfill of the 1890s done to create the railroad yard. Windows frame views of the marsh lands and Old St. Hilary's Open Space preserve. 
 
The expanded library was designed by Brown Reynolds Watford Architecture and added approximately 9,000 square feet, bringing the total size of the library to about 19,500 square feet.
