Caps, Gowns & Bright Futures: Texas Libraries are Graduating Adults
In Texas, 3.2 million adults, or 14.50% of the population, are without a high school diploma. Dropping out comes with high costs—to individuals, families, and communities. Join our session to learn how your library can change lives by graduating adults through a 100% online, accredited program. Hear from a panel of Texas librarians currently helping patrons create brighter futures with Gale Presents: Excel Adult High School.
