My library system is going on a major marketing and programming bliitz to highlight all the good libraries do in regards to helping people look for work.
My branch has two weekly programs right now, a resume review that I run, and an online job searching class that my co-worker teaches. I work one-on-one with people to improve their resumes, or even to just get their resume typed up and printed for the first time.
In April, I’m going to be starting a new monthly program called Budget Living, and I’m going to discuss different ways to save money, and still have fun. Each month will have a different theme. April is Groceries. I’m going to have fun with this topic. I’m hoping to experiment with everything I’m researching. IE. using these grocery bill-cutting skills in March, and discuss what works and what doesn’t at the April class. I think this will have a slow turn-out, but will eventually gather a large following.
