If you’re thinking of a new career or need a boost with your education goals, the library’s online Career & Education Resources can help! Located under the Research Tab (Online Research Resources) on our website, you’ll find a variety of free tools to help you reach your goals. Learn a new skill or improve a skill that you already have, such as typing, Microsoft Excel, or business communication. You can also create a resume, prep for your GED test, improve your English language skills, or learn a new language with these resources. Kids can even work on their reading skills and learn while they play games with ABCMouse.com. Ask a librarian for more information or assistance using these.
