GED Books available in the Learning Lab - Marybeth's update

I discovered that our Learning Lab instructors will give their GED study books (they still say CORE in the catalog) to anyone who needs them to check out. You can send someone up if we don't have any on the shelf, if they are open. . .
Marybeth: "We recognize that the GED materials in the general collection are very popular! As a way to get our materials into the hands of our customers, we have allowed SOME of the materials that are housed in the learning lab to be checked out by the general public (do not need to be enrolled in one of our classes). The available materials have been processed and are available on a separate, marked shelf in the Lab. They can be viewed during the open hours of the lab. We would like to see interested folks come to the lab to see the materials themselves so they can talk to one of the instructors about the lab, our classes, how to use the materials, and other strategies that they can be doing in attempt to achieve their learning goals. Checkout is for the normal 3-week time period using their CPL library card. They should be checked out and returned using the normal circulation procedures and the overdue process is applicable to all users, regardless if they are in our classes or not.
A few requests:
The opportunity to view/checkout materials is available during open lab hours only since during the non-lab hours we have classes going on and it would be a disruption.
The materials available for checkout may vary from day to day since our classroom instructors may pull items for use in their classes (that is the priority for these materials).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
