Improve Your Mind With Online Classes at the Library

Hi everyone!  I’m thrilled to be here on the Half Hollow Hills Patch, and I’ll try to keep everyone up-to-date on new services or programs offered here at the library. 

Have you tried our latest – UniversalClass? More than 500 online courses you can take for free (just need a library card) for personal enrichment, homeschooling,  learning a new skill, or if you’re contemplating starting a new career, this is a great place to try things out.  It’s part of our mission to keep our community alive with life-long learners.

Many of the classes come with CEU’s (Continuing Education Units)  which are needed by teachers and other education professionals to remain certified by the state.  There’s no charge for these CEU’s – that will appeal to the teachers in our district!

Some Quick Facts:

• You are welcome to enroll in up to 5 courses.
• You have up to 6 months to finish each course.
• You have access to your course 24/7 via the Internet.
• Attend class and do assignments on your schedule. Each course has a real instructor who you may communicate with using email.
• These are non-credit courses and are provided for your personal enrichment. These
  courses are not intended to be a substitute for any state, government, licensing, or educational requirements.
