MORE FREE ACT CRASH COURSES FOR YOUR PATRONS! Please share!

A post has already gone out about the May 2 course, but we've added a parent edition on that date plus another class and parent edition on May 23.
These courses were added due to high demand and classes filling up fast.  Thank you to Dr. Sampath for doing these additional classes.  These classes are normally held in person by Grandview Heights Public Library, but in light of COVID-19 the Grandview Library is now hosting Dr. Sampath's classes online.
You do not have to be a library member or an Ohio resident to register.
