Cranston Library to Hold Citizenship Classes

Beginning January 2015, the Cranston Public Library will host a free class series for adult immigrants preparing for the US Citizenship Interview and Test. The classes, held at the William Hall Library on Saturdays from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm, will be led by instructors from the Rhode Island Family Literacy Initiative (RIFLI). Registration will take place at the William Hall Library on Saturday, January 10th, from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm.

In the past four years, 117 immigrants have successfully passed the citizenship exam and interview after attending RIFLI classes at Cranston Public Library locations. RIFLI–a member agency of the Rhode Island Citizenship Consortium–is a high-performing literacy program specializing in English as a Second Language, job readiness, math, college transition, and computer literacy instruction.

The William Hall Library is located at 1825 Broad Street, Cranston, RI 02905.

Classes are supported by a grant from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. More information about Cranston Public Library available online at: www.cranstonlibrary.org. More information about RIFLI available online at: www.rifli.org.
