A new year is a great time to begin earning a General
Educational Development (GED) certificate. GED refers to a series of tests that
certify a person has achieved a high school level of academic knowledge and
skills, and it serves as an alternative to a traditional high school diploma. Free
GED tutoring is available at the library each Wednesday, 4 - 6 p.m. It is
taught by a degreed and professionally trained tutor who specializes in math
and essay writing.
