Test Proctoring
The library staff provides test proctoring for area students. Librarians provide this service directly - the library itself does not offer test proctoring. Proctoring is done for a donation. Students will need to contact the library at least a week before the test to set up testing times and fulfill any requirements from the school. Students will also need to sign a consent form with the library, found below.
