NORFOLK, VA – Norfolk Public Library (NPL) wants to make sure you never stop learning. This fall, NPL teams up with Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) and the Norfolk Department of Human Services Cares T.E.A.M. to offer enrichment courses for adults through the newly created Norfolk Adult Enrichment Collaboration. All classes are free of charge and taught virtually using Zoom and Google. Virtual classes and Wi-Fi hotspots available from NPL mean that adult learners can take a class from the safety and comfort of home.
