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

During the period of the COVID-19 virus, PGS had expanded its online offerings to compensate for the inability to have face-to-face meetings while abiding by the social distancing standards. But now in-person classes are back! PGS classes are meeting in the library again. But don’t worry if you prefer to attend on-line. Classes will be offered in a hybrid format; that is, both simultaneously in the library and online using Zoom. These are all free and open to the public. Go to the calendar on this website to  see the complete schedule of events as well as instructions on how to participate in the online events. Selected events are recorded and are also available on the website. You can find those videos in two places. Mouse over the “Research” or “Calendar” tabs found at the top of the home page and select the “Recordings” option from the drop-down menu. These videos are free for all to view. All videos are normally moved to our Members Only pages after one month of public access. To access them, sign into the website as a member and navigate to the “Members Only Content” tab. The members pages also give you handouts to all of our classes.
