Upcoming Teen Programs @ the Library

Writing College Essays That Make a Difference: This presentation will provide students with strategies for writing a college application essay that can make the difference between a “Yes” and a “Maybe.” Students will look at case studies of successful essays, and have the opportunity to have their essays assessed by Dr. Adam Schwartz who taught writing at Harvard and Wellesley for twenty-five years. His service on the Board of Admissions at Wellesley College has provided him with an insider’s knowledge of the college application process. For teens and families. If students would like to meet one-on-one with Mr. Schwartz, please email a draft of your essay by September 11th to aschwartz42695@gmail.com. Register online. September 12th, 7:00 pm, Druker
