Classes
The library offers a new class on effective resumes
with local volunteer Sharon Robertson, who has experience with resumes,
particularly in the construction industry, but in other careers as
well. The first class was held on March 11, 2009, and will be
re-offered on demand. If you are interested in taking this free and
very informative class, call the library at (509) 649-3420 or send an
email to rpl@inlandnet.com.
The library offers one-on-one computer training: Introduction to
computers; Introduction to the Internet; and Basic E-mail. Library
staff are also available to help with creating a resume using online
resources and / or Microsoft Word on a "by-appointment" basis. Please
call the library at (509) 649-3420 if you are interested.

Information you can trust!
These databases offer powerful and credible information through a
subscription-based service that you can access at the Roslyn Library
for FREE. It is better than
the web, but searching can be trickier. Ask
your librarian for help.
You must be using a
library computer to access the
databases, and you will need to get a user ID and password from
the librarian. |
