Interested in college but don’t know where to begin? Then head to the Forest Avenue
Library for fun, free college readiness programs. Students in grades 6 and up will
love these fun, interactive programs with snacks and prizes, as well as opportunities
to earn bigger prizes such as t-shirts, backpacks, flash drives, and lunch coolers.

Funded by a grant from the Iowa College Access Network (ICAN), the programs
introduce middle school and high school students to a variety of library resources
that can help you prepare for an education beyond high school. Resources include
online homework help, practice ACT/SAT tests, and programs that help students and
parents fill out financial aid forms -- all at no charge The special ICAN programs are
sponsored by KnowHow2Go.org, a national campaign that targets economically
disadvantaged and first-generation students who lack the support structure and
information necessary to plan, apply and pay for college.
