Comments on: Free employment workshop series at the library http://thebestlibrary.net/wordpress/blog/archives/882 Info we hope you'll find useful, from the adult reference librarians at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:37:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Lisa http://thebestlibrary.net/wordpress/blog/archives/882/comment-page-1#comment-44 Lisa Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:44:48 +0000 http://thebestlibrary.net/wordpress/blog/?p=882#comment-44 Hi Kris, we did think about doing evening classes. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, due to the availability of some of our presenters, as well as the limited hours in our Alsea and Monroe branches. Because our library is funded by the taxpayers of Corvallis and Benton Co., our series is only taking place in Benton County, and anyone is welcome to attend. But there are great resources available to you in Linn County. WorkSource Oregon is offering some of our sessions here at the library. They have <a href="http://www.worksourceoregon.org/index.php/worksource-centers" rel="nofollow">offices</a> all over the state (in <a href="http://www.worksourceoregon.org/index.php/contact-us-mainmenu-17/230-lebanon" rel="nofollow">Lebanon</a> and <a href="http://www.worksourceoregon.org/index.php/contact-us-mainmenu-17/208-albany" rel="nofollow">Albany</a> as well), and offer free classes, similar to what is being presented at our library. Contact them directly for more information on the many great services they offer job seekers. You may also want to contact the Albany Public Library to see what resources and services they have available to job seekers. You can call them at (541) 917-7580 or <a href="http://www.cityofalbany.net/contact.php?to=library.web&s=Comments%20From%20the%20Web%20Site" rel="nofollow">email them</a>. - Lisa, a second floor librarian Hi Kris, we did think about doing evening classes.

However some of us have made other commitments during the day such as voluteering at various churches or schools or outreach programs to occupy our time and can't be there during the day to take the class. Have you thought about having an evening class sa from 7-9 p.m.? Any chance of these classes being taught in either Lebanon or Albany?
