Summer Class Offered

We will be offering a section of LTA 121, Introduction to Library Science, this summer. It will be scheduled in an alternative delivery format -- 6 full days of class during the month of June. Then, take the rest of the summer off! If you know someone who wants to start the program, this is a great time to get going. This would be a great class for someone working in a school setting who would like to take class when they are not working. Check the schedule for the exact dates and times. Registration begins April 23rd. Spread the word!
