On May 8, the Literacy House hosted a registration drive for men and women interested in taking GED preparation classes through the Arlington Public Library's literacy program, Arlington Reads.

The program has become so popular there was a line of people spilling out the doors and onto the sidewalk. Fifty people registered for the program, another 40 joined the waitlist, and many more trickled in to inquire about the GED program. People started forming a line two hours before the registration period began that morning.

The Arlington Public Library provides GED classes through its literacy program, Arlington Reads. Volunteers teach classes and tutor in various subjects. Students receive an account with an online GED program to study from any computer with internet access. Starting in the fall, there will be a $25 yearly materials fee.
