The Little Elm Public Library has scheduled a run of free practical classes for adults between Thursday, Oct. 29, and Thursday, Nov. 5, according to the library's online events calendar. Each is in the Library Program Room and is offered with a bilingual English and Spanish listing.

Cybersecurity, Thursday, Oct. 29

A digital skills specialist from Goodwill North Central Texas will teach a cybersecurity class from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Because the class is grant funded, participants have to fill out intake paperwork before it starts. Registration is required, and the calendar showed 13 open seats Saturday.

Financial Literacy 101, Monday, Nov. 2

A professional financial advisor will present a session on money fundamentals from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The library describes it as aimed at families, covering healthy financial habits and planning ahead.

Medicare 101, Thursday, Nov. 5

From 3:30 to 5 p.m., Khari Merritt, described by the library as an independent Medicare consultant and retired first responder, will walk through Medicare Parts A, B, C and D, enrollment timelines, late enrollment penalties, special needs programs and changes coming in 2027. Registration is required, and 24 seats were listed as available.

For families with high schoolers

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 6 to 7 p.m., staff from the University of North Texas TRIO Upward Bound program will be at the library to explain the free program, which according to the listing helps first-generation, income-eligible high school students graduate and move on to college through academic and summer programming.

The library's calendar lists the cybersecurity and Medicare sessions with online registration forms; the financial literacy and Upward Bound sessions show no sign-up form.
