ALA/Woman's Day Magazine Initiative
Libraries have until May 9 to promote Woman's Day magazine's newest initiative, "Why the library is important to my community." The American Library Association and Woman's Day are looking for stories that showcase the importance and value of libraries within the communities they serve. Women ages 18 and up are invited to send their stories in 700 words or less to womansday@ala.org. Up to four stories will be profiled in the March 2011 issue of the magazines or at www.womansday.com.
Help in Tough Times
The State Library of Ohio has created a list of online resources to assist individuals in dealing with the issues associated with the challenging economic climate in which we find ourselves. This site, which you can access from the red, white, and blue "Find Help in Tough Times" button on the right-hand side of the page, provides useful information concerning housing, parenting, employment, financial assistance, help for senior citizens, and health and wellness.
Staff at PCDL have also created a Job & Career Information page that provides you with access to job listings and assistance with a more local/regional focus. You will also find many books, fliers, pamphlets, and other information concerning employment and education at the New Lexington Library's Career & Education Center. We hope that all of these efforts communicate that libraries are here to help.
