Thank You for Your Support (Not Over Yet)
 |
Staff at all PCDL locations would like to thank all of you who have taken the time to contact your elected leaders concerning the proposed (and devastating) cuts to library funding. The response has been truly amazing. Many legislators reported receiving more than 10,000 e-messages and telephone calls from library supporters in just one 24-hour period! Check the links below for more details on this important issue. |
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.

Everything officially gets started June 8th, with a preliminary "Rock Band" session for teens taking place on the outdoor stage of the New Lexington Library on June 6th where participants will get the opportunity to play Wii and rock out in front of friends and adoring fans. |
