The library is a great resource for students of all ages. The Nashua Public Library has great resources for everyone at every stage of learning. One request I get often at the Reference desk is for practice exams for the GED or other exams for professions that require the job candidate to take. Examples include law enforcement, teaching, and civil service careers. While the Nashua Public Library has many books on different professions, as well as materials on practice exams, there is another great resource you can use. As a library card holder, you can access the database Learning Express Library.

From the NPL homepage, you will see the NPL banner with menu items. Under Database – Most Popular, you can access the Learning Express Library, or Click Here! to see an alphabetical list of our databases. If you are using the database at home, you will need to enter the last 5 digits of your library barcode.

Once in Learning Express Library, you can create a username and password (for free) and begin taking practice exams for the GED, GMAT, ESL, Praxis, Real Estate, and much more! When signed into with your individual username and password, you can take those practice exams, get scores and answer explanations.

To find out what books we have on different careers, you can browse the libraries Career Books section, or see the Reference Department for assistance. For you searching convenience, I've linked some of the practice exam examples I've included above, to our catalog.
