Start Smart: Teen Driver Program
The California Highway Patrol and the Castro Valley Library present Start Smart: Teen Driver Program. CHP officers will discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causing factors, driver/parent responsibilities, and seatbelt usage. Additionally, testimonies will be provided by officers who have investigated fatal collisions involving teens, and by family members who have lost love ones in traffic collisions.
The Start Smart program is a driver safety education class which targets new and future licensed teenage drivers between the age of 15 - 19 and their parents/guardians.
A parent/guardian is required to attend the class with their teen.
Registration is required for this FREE program. To register, call the Library Information Desk at 510-667-7900 or register online at www.aclibrary.org
Finding the Best College Fit For You
To find the right college fit, a lot goes into it. You need to think about what you need in four different categories: academics, campus culture, financial aid, and career services. The Princeton Review surveyed students at hundreds of colleges about their experiences on campus and they’ve learned that first and foremost, no two students are exactly alike, and no two schools are exactly alike. Join the Castro Valley Library to discuss what they’ve learned so that high school students can learn helpful information in determining what will be the best fit for them. The program will be hosted virtually via Zoom on Monday, January 24, from 6 pm to 7 pm. Everyone registered for an online program will receive the link to participate in a separate email before the program begins. The program is free and registration is required at www.aclibrary.org or by phone at: 510-667-7900.
