Universal Class
Written By: Deena Bouknight | Issue: 2020/04 - April
** The Hudson Library is closed through April 15. We’ll let you know if this changes.
Spring has sprung. Time to think about doing, seeing – and learning something new. Just the place to acquire new skills and knowledge is the Hudson Library.
A brand new addition is Universal Class.
“Love learning but want to acquire new skills at your own pace?” prompts Carlyn Morenus, branch librarian. “Using your library card, you can gain free access to Universal Class, an online education resource with more than 500 classes in over 30 areas of study. And, many of the classes qualify as continuing education units and patrons can take multiple classes at a time, all for free with your library card!”
She added that the range of classes is extensive: from knitting to dog grooming, feng shui to finance, digital photography to entrepreneurship, and much more.
“We’re delighted to offer Universal Class to our patrons. There’s sure to be something of interest for everyone.”
Classes are led by skilled instructors so that “students” are able to gain a deeper understanding of and even master a particular subject. Classes are taught through videos, assignments, quizzes, tests, and options for social media interaction with other learners. Universal Class participants are also able to learn at their own pace.
Cardholders can access Universal Class at fontanalib.org/online-resources. Cardholders additionally have at their fingertips, through this same site, e-government resources to glean important information regarding federal entities such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Affordable Care Act, and Social Security, as well as state and local agencies.
