Practice Driving Tests
We are happy to announce a partnership with Driving-Tests.org, a company dedicated to driver safety and education, to offer free Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) practice tests to library patrons. The new service includes free tests specifically based on the state’s DMV materials.
Get Ready for Your Test
https://dmv-permit-test.com/It is the only site of its kind to include accessibility tools that let users hear selections read aloud, make them into MP3s, translate pages into other languages, magnify text, and mask portions of the screen for greater visibility on the practice tests.
This partnership allows the Nora Sparks Warren Library to harness the power of Driving-Tests.org’s specialized practice exams to turn new drivers into safer drivers. The new program will work as an outreach to several valued groups of patrons, including teens, those with disabilities, and seniors who need to take a renewal exam, as well as patrons at every other stage of life.
New Library Catalog & Workstation
We appreciate the generous memorial donation from Melinda Brim Lawrence in honor of Anita Brim McKinley.
We were able to purchase a Library Catalog computer and workstation.
LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
These are donated books, not library books. They are free to take and you can also donate your used books here as well. Thank you for your support.
