PROGRAMS
LearningQUEST offers programs for adults of all ages. Topics are varied and fall in a wide range of subject areas. Programs are generally held in the Main Library meeting facilities, with some off-site locations used when needed. There are two terms each year: Spring (January – June) and Fall (July — December). Each term begins with a Rally Day which is open to the public. The program catalog will be available and members will have an opportunity to explore courses and trips being offered, as well as to register for their choice of programs.
The beautiful term catalog provides detailed information about us and this term’s programs and instructors. Click the ‘Catalog‘ button, or image, to view the Catalog and download it to your local computer if you wish.
Click the ‘Programs‘ button, or image, to display a table showing all the programs available for this term – along with the current status of each program. The Program names in the table are also links to pages that provide detailed information about each program.
Term Programs: Most term programs require payment of a $40 term fee. Payment of the term fee allows a member to register for as many programs as desired during that term. Programs typically have a maximum number of attendees. If the number of registrants exceeds that maximum, the program is ‘waitlisted’. If members withdraw from a waitlisted program, waitlisted members will be switched to ‘enrolled’ in the order of their registration. Note that some programs may require an additional materials cost.
Trips planned for LearningQUEST members require reservations and may have an additional cost.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) allow members to pursue common interests. No term fee is required to participate. These SIGs are available to LearningQUEST members, and the meetings are included in the Calendar.
Public Programs are open to the community at large. Normally these are single lectures on topics of interest to our members and the general public.
In addition, Special Events occur throughout the year and are announced in the weekly E-News.
