Dallas residents eager for GED classes flocked to the library when classes restarted online
The pandemic shut down the in-person program but virtual courses removed barriers to access for students with children, work and other commitments.

The Keeps are teachers with the Dallas Public Library s GED program, which is one of the few free programs and only options for economically disadvantaged students. Virtual classes began last May during the pandemic, and now online classes are thriving and enrollment is up 30%.
