Bits & Pieces by Vicki Kurashige
HAPPY SPRING to all ! Thank-you to Lorayne for bringing sunshine
into our library with her lovely flowers. Thanks also to Lisa and Chad for adjusting the sights on our basketball
hoop. This month the MID-HUDSON LIBRARY SYSTEM, to which we belong, asks that we inform our patrons of the Practice Tests available on
our website: northchathamlibrary.org.
Among the practice tests available, are the AP, SAT and
college preparation tests. You can also find civil service and other career
readiness tests including: nursing, teaching, postal, police officer and
firefighter. The site can also help you
with Resume building and Career Research.
Try it and tell us what you think.
In the next few weeks, the Summer program schedule will be set.
If you do not receive a brochure in the mail, please give us a call, or
stop by the library and pick one up.
