Free citizenship class at the Plainsboro Public Library

Literacy New Jersey is offering a free citizenship preparation class covering history/government, practice interviews/tests, and the N-400 form. Classes will be held at the Plainsboro Public Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

Literacy NJ is proud to be an organization that welcomes people of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, and sexual orientations, both immigrants and U.S. born.
