Director's Corner

 

Please pardon our dust while we continue the second phase of our construction.  We are currently working on the windows in the Library, and we may have to close sections temporarily while the work continues.

Summer is halfway over, but our programs are still going strong.  Stop by the Library today to cool off, check out our new circulating board game collection, or attend one of our wonderful programs.

Telling Your Story in the College Process: Wednesday, August 1 from 6:30 - 7:45. How do colleges get to know every student who applies? We will discuss a holistic admissions process and answer how your child can meet the criteria. This presentation will show how students can tell their own stories through a process of self-awareness reflecting on: learning style, interests, educational pathway, future majors and activities as a part of selecting what is unique and creating a storyboard for students to use in their applications. This workshop will be interactive and participants will leave with an understanding of how to tell the story! Registration is required.  Click the link above.Presenter: Dr. Deborah Hardy
