Thinking about going to college? Want to explore other options after high school? The Burlington County Library System is ready to help with its first “College Fair” set for Saturday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Held at the County Library in Westampton, the fair will feature representatives from a sampling of post-secondary institutions and the military, as well as panel discussions geared for teens and young adults thinking about their future. Parents and guardians are also welcome. Admission is free and registration is not required.
The one-hour panel discussions in the library auditorium will include:
