In Search of Sanity: How to Approach College Admissions in 2025
2025-08-11 19:00 - 20:00
For parents, and teens entering their Junior/Senior year of High School
Have a teen headed to college in the next few years?
30 years ago, there were no American colleges that accepted less than 10% of their applicants. Today, over 30 accept less than 10%, and dozens more accept below 15%. International applicants are taking up a larger and larger percentage of those spots. Moreover, kids are applying to more and more schools, so there is no reason to believe those numbers will get any less scary in the future.
Keith Berman, President of Options for College, has worked in the Harvard and Yale admissions offices and has been advising schools and students since 2005 in private practice. His talk will look at the state of admissions, discussing how his advisees emerged successful, and looking at how to get some “Return on Investment” out of tuition.
He will also share what the process looks and feels like as a parent, having had a daughter survive and thrive through the most competitive year in admissions history, providing tips on how to support your children without letting applications consume you.

Unlocking the Secrets of Social Security: What you Need to Know Before you Claim
2025-08-20 19:00 - 20:00
This class is for anyone who hasn’t yet started collecting Social Security and wants to make a smart, informed choice about when and how to claim benefits.

Social Security is not one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s situation is different—and if you understand the rules, you can decide what’s truly best for you.

Social Security is complicated—and the new Social Security Fairness Act of 2025 could change the rules even more. We’ll explain everything in plain, easy-to-understand language and walk through real-life case studies so you can see how different decisions play out. You’ll learn how key factors like your age, marital status, work history, and long-term goals affect your benefits—and how to avoid common and costly mistakes.

We’ll cover: How spousal and survivor benefits really work, what the new law could mean for your Social Security, and the pros and cons of different claiming strategies. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed, this session will give you the confidence and clarity you need to make the best Social Security decision for you.

The seminar will be led by Lucretia Ryan, of FinancialFreedomforWomen.org. She is a financial writer, educator, and philanthropist, dedicated to helping women make financial decisions that are in their best interest.

Please register below. We often get last-minute cancellations, so please email the Library to get on the waitlist – info@lewisborolibrary.org.
