BPL is a
great resource in tough times -
The Birmingham
Public Library is one example of library institutions rising to the
challenge of the recession, offering electronic tools for those directly
hit by the flailing economy. From the online database to the access of
types of services offered, BPL remains standing on the frontlines of the
federal financial struggle. Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of
free computer classes, financial workshops and print resources to find
employment or better themselves for other job
opportunities.
For more
information on the free classes, workshops or other resources offered
by the BPL, you can access the BPL Web site www.bplonline.org, the Event Keeper or
contact your local branches.
