We have the ability to generate overdue notices, hold notices and ‘almost due’ notices by email.

If you would like to get this service, please give your current email address at the circulation desk next time you check out and we will set this up for you. Hold notices are generated overnight and will be delivered to your email by morning. ‘Almost due’ notices come three days before your item is due. Overdue notices are sent when your item is two weeks past due.

Join us at the Pember Wednesday evening, when Sue Kowaleski will talk about a few options for planting a little garden with/for children. She will have a powerpoint to show with some fun vegetables for adults to grow with children. There would still be time for participants to get a little garden in the ground after June 17. Think about kids picking beans they planted themselves to have for supper! Or carving their own jack-o-lantern in October after watching it grow all summer!

All Pember Presents programs are free and open to the public. For more information call the Pember Library – (518) 642-2525.

In light of the ever growing unemployment numbers, the Southern Adirondack Library System created a resource to help us guide patrons who come into the library looking for job and resume assistance. The following information was compiled by the Southern Adirondack Library System in March 2009.

The New York State Library Division of Library Development has a great site devoted to information about what public libraries are doing to help job seekers; their webpage also has links to many helpful resources. The Saratoga-Washington-Warren Counties Workforce System has an excellent online resource for job seekers. The site includes information on how to access their regional, statewide and national job listings; a list of job search websites; job fair locations; civil service jobs and much more. This is a very comprehensive resource for job counseling.

You may also need help writing resumes and cover letters. For quick online reference, check out Job Star Central. Another great resource to help with resume writing is SeekingSuccess.com; this site has a nice section devoted to resume wording. Additionally, SALS compiled a resume writing packet. We will have a printout of this near the library computers.

For additional help with these resources, please ask at the library desk.

Sending an email through the link on the right may be a little tricky. If you click on “Email” and an email program opens that you usually use, you are all set.

However, if it opens an email program that you don’t usually use, try this:

Click on “Email.” Copy the email address that appears in the “to” field.

Open your email program in a  new window or new tab. Paste the email address into the “to” field in your usual email program. Write and send your email as usual.
