Does your teen need help finding a job, dealing with money or looking for college scholarships? Don’t worry, the library has you covered. The Grand Rapids Public Library is offering a three-part learning series for your teen to get the answers they need for life.
The Almost Adulting series takes place throughout September and will be free on a first-come, first-serve basis. Teens will learn about finding a job, figuring out the smartest way to bank and discovering new strategies for getting and using scholarships. Snacks will be provided at these classes and each class is held at 1 p.m. in the Main Library, at 111 Library St. NE.
