Your future is calling. With the GED test you can answer the call.
The current version of the GED test is expiring at the end of 2013 and your
scores will expire too if you don't finish and pass the GED test by then. If you
act now, you won't have to re-take the parts of the GED test you've already
passed. Because you've already started the GED test you're almost there.
Don't feel prepared to finish the GED test? Don't worry help is available!
Even with your busy schedule, you can prepare, plan and succeed.
Call 503-879-2282 or 1-800-422-0232, ext. 2282.

from any CCRLS library to be sent for pick up at the Grand Ronde
Tribal Library. When finished with, the material can be returned
to Grand Ronde. The Tribal Library is not becoming a member of
CCRLS, and the circulation rules of the CCRLS library will apply.
The service will be available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to

Sheridan, Dallas, McMinnville and Salem.
