Senior parents, if your students are working on college applications and want additional advice, The College Guidance Network is holding a free virtual event tonight titled APPLY HERE: TIPS FOR COMPLETING COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. Register by going to bit.ly/CGNApply.
Speakers include Scott Anderson of the Common App, Rachelle Hernandez of the University of Texas, and Brennan Barnard of Khan Lab High School.
The event starts at 7:30 P.M. ET TONIGHT, Thursday, October 21.


The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be at Van Buren on Monday, October 25, from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Middle and high school students can visit the bookmobile during their lunch periods, so if students have a FHCPL card, please be sure they have their cards October 25 so they can check out books.
Students can also place holds on books using the FHCPL website (www.findlaylibrary.org) and pick those up on the bookmobile as long as they identify the bookmobile as the pick-up location (they still need to have their library cards with them).
Students who don't have library cards can visit the library in Findlay (206 Broadway St.) to register for a card. Parents must be present with their children and have two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID).
The bookmobile will also be making stops at the school from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. on November 8 & 22, and December 6.
