What an odd thing to offer at a public library? Maybe next month they will offer safe driving workshops?

I thought exactly the same thing.

I would love to follow the source of the money for the cost of this. Is it municipal tax dollars? Provincial? Ferderal? Did they get $ for this from someone?

Did the province/feds not shut down the student employment office which was a once stop shopping effort and would likely have provided such assistance?

As far as I know, this sort of thing is covered in a high school curriculum.

Again, it would be helpful to edcuate the public a bit about why this program is coming from what seems to be an unusual place.

I would think that this type of thing is covered in a high school curriculum.

Here is some typical info from a college.
