Kingsport Public Library hosting “Beyond Graduation” event

Graduating from high school can be both an exciting and confusing time in your life, as young adults struggle to figure out what to do next.

To help alleviate this burden, the Kingsport Public Library is partnering with local institutions of higher education to offer a Beyond Graduation event – an information fair for high school students to learn more about the potential next steps in their life.

The event will be held at the Kingsport Public Library’s Fort Henry Mall location on October 2 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

Representatives from East Tennessee State University, Northeast State Community College, King University, the Tennessee College of Applied Technology, and the U.S. Army will be on hand, giving presentations and fielding questions from those in attendance.

“Graduating from high school is a milestone and an exciting time of your life, but at the same time it can be a little scary,” said Young Adult Services Librarian Caroline O’Connor. “Hopefully, students who attend our event will learn more about their options and help get them on a good path moving forward.”
