Click here to go to the library calendar for the class schedule. 

To register for a class or library program, go to the calendar and click on the title. That brings up a registration page that will confirm the information on the class/program and indicate whether there is still space available.  Fill in your name, telephone number, and email address and click the "submit" button. If you like, print out the confirmation page to remind you of the class.  If the class/program is full, you may see a confirmation page saying that you have been added to the waiting list.  In that case, you will be notified if space becomes available.

Use the search bar on the calendar to select class locations -- you can see the schedule for all locations, or select only the main library or a WILL site.  You can also select the type of event -- class, children's program, Next Chapter program, etc.  To see events scheduled for next month (or last month) use the  next > (or previous <) links on the top of the calendar beside the date.

At any time, you can see a list of all events for which you have registered by clicking on the Display Your Personal Schedule

link at the top of the calendar, beside the date.

Have an idea for a class that's not on the list?  Know someone who might be interested in sharing their skills as a volunteer instructor?  Click here to let us know, and be sure to include your contact information if you would like a reply.
