[Eileen McNeil]

Dear OPLIN colleagues,


For the past 3 years The Grandview Heights Public Library in Columbus, OH, has been hosting free ACT courses led by community member Dr. Srinath Sampath.



Dr. Sampath Bio<http://prepaccelerator.com/about/>



Dr. Sampath has received extremely positive feedback about his classes and rising ACT scores have given parents and students proof that these classes can make a world of difference to their college prospects.



We conducted our first free, online ACT event on Sat, Apr 18, to a full audience. As a result, Dr. Sampath has generously agreed to offer additional crash courses online.



Please note that registrants do not have to be library members or Ohio residents.



In response to our previous announcement, some of you had sought our permission to announce this event on social media. Please feel free to inform interested parties via any or all of the following channels:

  1.  Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
  2.  Posting on your website
  3.  Email to partner high school principals and guidance counselors
  4.  Email to patrons, especially parents



Our continuing goal is to provide such opportunities to your patrons and associated school districts. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
