Do any libraries use Social workers at their Library ?
by Lisa Valerio-Nowc 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

hello, today I was trying to help a patron get assistance with his utility bills. I tried contacting various organizations and it occurred to me that I had read about Social Workers working in the library to help clients. Out of curiosity, does anyone have a Social worker that comes into their library? Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance for the responses!

Hi all, does anyone have a good job description for a branch manager in a small town? Someone who usually only has a clerk to help? I would appreciate the information. Thanks!

Chicago St.,Coldwater MI 49036 http://www.BranchDistrictLibrary.org 517-278-2341, ext. 116 | 517-278-2342 (fax) “I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technology: 1) Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and just a natural part of the way the world works 2) Anything that’s invented when you’re between 15-35 yrs old is new and exciting and revolutionary—and you can probably get a career in it 3) Anything invented after you’re 35 yrs old is against the natural order of things” ~Douglas Adams, *The Salmon of Doubt*
