Tween & Teen Focus Groups

Want a chance to win a Chipotle or Starbucks Gift Card?  Need some volunteer hours? Show up to one of our focus groups on the half-days and let us know what you love (or don’t love) about our library services, programs, and collections. Your input will help shape the future of our library and make it even better for everyone!  Each person who attends a focus group earns one volunteer hour and has the chance to win one of the gift cards.  No registration needed.

Admissions 101 with Collegewise - VIRTUAL

Join us as Collegewise counselor Lizzie Leonard provides families like yours with a clear and comprehensive overview of what to expect as you embark on the journey of college applications.

 

We’ll discuss grades, test scores, activities, and everything else colleges evaluate.  Attendees will get straight answers about what college admissions committees really look for and how they ultimately decide who gets in. We think kids and parents will be pleasantly surprised to learn that kids don’t have to be trilingual, opera-singing rocket scientists to get into college today.
