The Nacogdoches Public Library has two free programs coming up, and the first one is aimed at families with a college-bound student.
FAFSA workshop, Nov. 20
The library will hold a free FAFSA workshop for parents and students on Friday, Nov. 20 at 5:30 p.m. The FAFSA — the Free Application for Federal Student Aid — is the form families fill out to seek financial help for college and qualified trade schools.
Staff will go through how to complete the application and what to expect in a first year of college. The session is built for families of students who will be enrolled in the 2027-2028 academic year, so if you have a senior this fall, this is the one. It’s free, but the library asks that you register through eventbrite.com. All the information will be available in English and Spanish.
Google Sheets class, Nov. 23
The library is also running a free Google Sheets class on Monday, Nov. 23 at 5:30 p.m. Sheets is a spreadsheet program that runs in a web browser, which makes it handy for a household budget, a church directory or a ball team’s roster.
That class is part of a wider free offering for adults. Anyone who wants to build basic computer skills can ask for a free one-on-one appointment, and library staff will size up where you’re starting from and work from there.
