US Citizenship Test Prep Program

The 2010 census shows an increase of immigrants residing in the Washington County area. Many may wish to become U.S. citizens and need help preparing to take the U.S. Citizenship test. The Peters Township Public Library will offer a session to help prepare for the test. Register by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org, at the library's circulation desk, or call 724-941-9430.

Advantages to becoming a U.S. citizen include the right to vote, the chance to reunite families, and the ability to protect children’s rights to remain in the U.S. Part of becoming a U.S. Citizen is passing the naturalization test, in which up to 10 questions from a list of 100 will be asked – at least 6 must be answered correctly to pass the test. The library hopes that by helping persons to prepare for the test, they will feel more confident when entering the naturalization interview.
