The Maui Friends of the Library awarded a $3,500 grant to Wailuku Public Library for the purchase of a collection of new books with timely topics such as saving money, going back to college, finding a new job, and growing your business.
More than 240 titles were selected to help patrons help themselves through tough economic times. The titles include books and audiobooks that provide advice on how to find and successfully apply for a job, how to invest and plan for retirement, how to use social media marketing to improve your bottom line, and much more.
The collection will be on display at Wailuku Public Library through the end of October and may be borrowed with a valid library card.
In addition to this collection, the Hawaii State Public Library System
offers patrons other job-seeking services such as online databases and
resources on our website (www.librarieshawaii.org), civil service exam
materials, college and career information, free Internet access available on
more than 300 newly-installed computers in our libraries provided by the
Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, funded by the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and leveraged with Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation Opportunity Online funds; and skilled and knowledgeable library
staff to assist you.
Wailuku Public Library is located at 251 High Street in Wailuku. For more
