If you or someone you know is preparing for the U.S. Citizenship test, we can help! The Latina Women's League of Gainesville is offering an 8-week citizenship test preparation program at Millhopper Branch library.
The first session is Friday, February 3rd at 3:00 p.m. and continues each Friday at 3:00 p.m. with the last session on March 23rd.
In addition to test preparation, general information about the citizenship process itself will also be given. As with everything offered at your Alachua County Library District, the program is free of charge and open to everyone.
The library also has some books and materials that can help you prepare for citizenship:
Pass the U.S. Citizenship Exam by LearningExpress
How to Become a U.S. Citizen by Debra Shpigler.
The Citizen's Almanac by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Study and practice for the U.S. Citizenship Exam online from your very own home (or, of course, any library location) with our databases. All you need to get started is your library card!:
Learning Express Library -- Offers information on preparing for and passing the exam, as well as a History & Civics 100 Question practice test. Includes a Spanish language guide and translation.
JobNow! Adult Learning Center -- Provides study materials and tutorials for test preparation, 10 practice tests, and live online tutors to help answer any questions you have as you prepare.
