Lake Wales Public Library Offers Certain College Level Online Courses Tuition Free Through Local Bullard Trust

Date:

The Lake Wales Public Library offers the business and adult learner community the opportunity to take community college level continuing education courses through their link, https://www.lakewalesfl.gov/309/Library.  

Through the Lake Wales Library Association – Friends of the Library’s Dell Bullard Trust for Vocation Education a variety of business, recreational and educational courses are available, tuition free, to any Lake Wales Public Library card holder.

Dell Bullard was a pioneer businesswoman in Lake Wales, Florida.  She, along with her husband, Doug Bullard, began a successful insurance agency that remains a vital part of the Lake Wales business community today.  

Mrs. Bullard believed in the importance of learning throughout a lifetime; a concept Gale Courses continues to promote.

Gale Courses offers a wide range of highly interactive, instructor led courses that you can take entirely online.   As a library card holder in good standing, you are entitled to these courses at no cost. Courses run for six weeks and new sessions begin every month.
