What is ALL?

Education doesn't end at graduation! We are constantly expanding our knowledge base and shaping how we think and feel. Learning is a lifelong pursuit.

Adult Lifelong Learning (ALL) is an exploration of various topics for individuals 18 years old or older through short-term, non-credit courses offered during the fall and spring semesters, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth and development.

ALL is supported by the Marion Public Library and other community partners. Classes will be led by subject matter experts, educators, and academic faculty and will include a variety of topics.

ALL registration is $25 and includes two classes. Each additional class is $5.

This community enrichment program is made possible through financial support from Marion County Council on Aging & the Marion Community Foundation.
