Parents of high school and elementary school students are invited to attend free upcoming programs at the Schaumburg Township District Library, 130 S. Roselle Rd., Schaumburg.

Parents and students are invited to join Thomas Jaworski of Quest College Consulting for advice on breaking down the college search process. Smart phones and tablets are welcome.
"Smart Start," designed for parents of grade-school students, is scheduled from 7-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 23 in the library's Rasmussen South Room.

Parents will discover ways to promote responsibility, independence and positive self-esteem.
"Webinar: Financing a College Education" is slated from 3:30-4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24, in the Adult Classroom. Morningstar Webinar presenter Adam Zoll will provide tips and strategies for reducing and managing tuition payments.
