Lifetime Learning registration is open

/

The Friends of Snow Library’s 2025 Winter-Spring Lifetime Learning session begins on Monday, Feb. 24, and continues until Friday, April 25 with 25 new courses presented in two formats: online or in person in the Craine Room at the library. Once again, this session has something for everyone and includes many popular past presenters as well as engaging new ones.

Courses run from one to four classes in length and most are held during the day from 10:30 to noon or 1:30 to 3 p.m.  Most classes are presented in person, via zoom, and also recorded for your convenience. In addition to hearing loop technology in the Craine Room, all Zoom classes provide on-screen closed captioning of the sound.  The closed captioning of the program will also be viewable when watching the recording (and a full transcript of the audio can be downloaded and saved).

Course descriptions and online registration are available at www.friendsofsnowlibrary.org/lifetime-learning-program.  Brochures and registration forms are also available at Snow Library, 67 Main Street, Orleans.  A donation of $10 per course is suggested, which supports library programs.
