    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Officer Natasha was spearheading this class, I wasn’t doing much facilitation I was just there. She did well and got to know most people but because she was being so informal I feel that not much information was shared but relationships were made.

This class was held at the Belmont library, once everyone showed up i went over education in the US and the class was very engaged and asked a lot of questions.

I spoke a bit about adult education and the library system then 2 library staff came and presented some information, we took a tour of the library and then got library cards.
