Or just stop on by to visit! Here is an idea! Make it a New Year's resolution to spend more time at your local library.   Speaking of New Year's resolutions, if yours is getting more physically fit, you definitely want to stop by. The Pearl Library has a wonderful collection of FIT KITS available for FREE checkout! Uh-huh! Didn't I tell you we always have you in mind?

Don't miss out!

We'll see you there!

She will take you step by step throughout the whole process. You will be amazed how well you do.

How To Tuesdays Makes An Intro At The Pearl Public Library!

That's right! Lisa is on a roll! She's lining up great events for her new How To Tuesdays happening every third Tuesday of the month starting this month (October)!

First up is her Resume Writing Class, Tues. Oct. 16 at 6 p..m. which will be held in the Pearl Library's computer lab.  Lisa says she looks for this to be a successful program, because "we have noticed multiple requests for resume help - sometimes daily - from patrons, and feel like this truly is a community need."

Lisa will cover things like the basic steps to writing a resume which include using brevity (that means don't use too many - or unnecessary - words!!!), matching your skills to the job you hope to land and using key words and action verbs.

It's a free program and no reservation is needed!

Now, writing a resume is a serious matter and fits perfectly in the How To Tuesdays format, however so do events that are totally entertaining and lots of fun! And, Lisa has that covered in future programming. Uh-huh, she sure does!

How about DIY Holiday Spa Gifts! Yep! That's coming Tues. November 20 and Make Your Own Handprint Snowman Ornament on Tues. Dec. 18. Remember all the How To Tuesdays are at 6 p.m.

Hey, while we are on the subject of Tuesdays, mark your calendar for the fabulous Fall Festival, Kristen has planned for the Pearl Library's October Family Night on Tues. Oct. 9 from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Yes, another free program, like all library programs are! The Fall Festival will be held outdoors in the field by the Pearl Senior Center located behind the library. Bounce houses, face painting, games and you know it...CANDY! (While supplies last this is!)

It's not called Family Night for nothing! Bring everybody!  Participants are welcome and encouraged to wear Halloween costumes!

Tuesdays are happening at the Pearl Public Library! You don't want to miss a thing! 

We'll see you there!
