GREETINGS (Online/in-person event and video recording update):

PGS has something for everyone including both in-person and on-line classes and meetings. Classes are offered in a hybrid format; that is, both simultaneously in-person at the Largo Library and on-line using Zoom. Classes are all free and open to the public. Under the Calendar tab on this website, click Calendar to see the complete schedule of events, as well as an Orientation on how to use Zoom for the first time for our on-line events. Many events are recorded and available on the website. Videos are listed at the top of the Home page in two places: under the Research tab and under the Calendar tab. Select Recordings from either menu. These videos are free for all to view for 30 days (or longer based on the speaker agreement). Then videos move to our Members Only Content area for up to a year. To access them, sign into the website and under Members Only Content click the Program Meeting and Class Recordings link and the Class Handouts link.
