On Thursday, July 2 at 7 p.m., Beebe Library will offer a program focused on solving the problem of unemployment by a using different mindset. This presentation is centered on the idea that how you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. Learn how using the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind in everyday actions can help solve problems and discover why volunteerism can be an effective method of tapping both parts of our minds while increasing the ability to network. There will be networking opportunities during/after the session.

Reading fuels the imagination and makes children eager and ready to learn. Research shows that children who read throughout the summer retain their reading skills and start the next school year as stronger readers and students. Beebe Library offers reading programs designed for pre-school kids, kids entering grades 1-4 and kids entering grades 5 and up. Each program is different, but each rewards kids who read. Take part in reading programs and these other activities. Find out what’s out there at your library.
