Library Resources
The Dorothy Bramlage
Public Library serves the residents of Junction City, Ft. Riley, Geary County
and surrounding areas. You are invited to visit the library and browse our collection
of books, magazines, newspapers, videos, books-on-tape, CD-ROMs and reference
materials as well as utilize our high-speed Internet service provided by Cox
Business Services. You may call the Reference Desk at (785)238-4311
or, from outside the library's service area, contact us via mail or email (jclibrary@jclib.org)with
your questions.
LearningExpressLibrary
This is a subscription site made available to our library patrons who may be
planning on taking a standardized test for college entrance, graduate school
entrance, civil service, vocational career certification, nursing, TOEFL, GED,
teacher certification, advanced placement or real estate licensing. The site
also includes basic skills improvement or job and career assistance. The Learning
Express Library Web site will have detailed information on how to register to
set up an individualized account. Once you have established your account, you
will have free and unlimited access to all of the Learn-A-Test resources. (Yes--it's
free!)
Setting up a personal
account is quick and easy, but there are a couple potential hurdles for home
users. If your computer is protected by a firewall, it must be disabled
in order to log on and utilize Learn-A-Test. Your computer must also be set
to accept cookies. Learn-A-Test's cookies are not malicious, but are the kind
that permit you to navigate the Web site using your personalized logon name.
If you are unsure how to disable your firewall or enable cookies, you
can contact technical support for Learning Express at 1-800-295-9556.
Note: It is
not necessary to use a library card as your logon to register with LearningExpressLibrary.
