Library Cats?
by Diane McKee 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

I am passing on this inquiry from Anne Ford at American Libraries: I'm an editor at American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library Association. I am working on an article about library cats, and I'm wondering if you happen to know of any libraries in your state that have resident kitties. If so, I'd be very glad if you'd point me to them. Thanks very much for entertaining this (slightly odd) request. All best, Anne Anne Ford Editor-At-Large, American Libraries American Library Association (773) 398-8636 aford(a)ala.org<mailto:aford@ala.org> Diane McKee Howell Carnegie Library 517-546-0720 ext. 114 www.howellibrary.org<http://www.howellibrary.org>

Resume building websites?
by Ed Burns 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Good day. Does anyone subscribe to an online resume building program that patrons can use? I hate seeing people go to these “free” websites and type up their resume only to find they have to pay to print or download it. We’d like to have a service we could offer our patrons that we knew was good and would not cost them. Thank you. Ed -- Ed Burns Assistant Director Ferndale Area District Library (248) 546-2504 xt695 edburnsiii(a)ferndalepubliclibrary.org
