Ten years ago my then 7 year old daughter and I started making jewelry.  She mentioned that it would be great if we could take apart all of the jewelry that we already owned and use it in different ways.  I had a dream where the pieces were sliding on and off a hoop earring and thus began our business. I have always loved change, which is unusual since most people hate or avoid the word "change". I love being able to design my own jewelry every single day and not ever have the same design twice!  Change adds excitement, lack of boredom, something new all of the time, and a thrill each and every day.  Why not experience this with your jewelry?
 
I have used the Chelsea District Library to learn about Excel spread sheets for my small jewelry business. I took the classes for several weeks.  I also love the support that the local library has made with small businesses.  A huge benefit to life in Chelsea!

You can impact how your library is funded. Find people in your community and start a conversation. Talk to your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers and people influential in your community. 

 

 

 There's a lot to talk about. Here are some suggestions:

 Why libraries need your support:

• Public library use has risen significantly in our community   
• Our public library supports everyone in our community   
• Our community is in need. Our local economy is struggling and the library is helping us out with resources to find jobs, start businesses and develop careers with access to the Internet, books, magazines, community-based classes and programs, and much more    
• But library funding is not sufficient to allow the public library to keep pace with our community needs and demands. Some of our libraries are being forced to cut hours, reduce resources and reduce staff

• Our public library is truly a resource for everyone-it serves each and every member of our community  
• Our public library supports learning for all, no matter our passions, our politics or our position in society  
• Our public library stimulates local job creation, increased wages and business development  
• Our public library is the one place where anyone can get free computer and Internet access  
• Our public library offers equal and open access to the resources we need to improve our lives and our community, including computer and job training programs, homework assistance, adult programs and more
