ESRL Now Offers Instructor Led-Online Courses

Great news: Eastern Shore Regional Library has acquired Gale Courses! Through this unique program, Eastern Shore residents can access instructor-led, online courses through their library website.

Gale Courses offer patrons access to hundreds of instructor-led online courses covering everything from health and wellness to creative writing, computer programming, GED test preparation and much more. Gale Courses are developed by expert instructors, many of whom are currently working at universities around the country, and have continuous enrollment dates.

Patrons can enroll at no cost. Courses run for six weeks, with two new lessons released weekly (for a total of 12), and new sessions beginning every month.  The courses are entirely web-based with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A dedicated professional instructor coordinates every course by pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions.

Library users can enroll and participate in courses from library computers or remotely from home computers. For more information about the catalog of courses offered or to enroll in a course, residents should visit
