 Get a jump on your spring garden. Join us as Dr. Norm Park, Master Gardener, leads a workshop on Germinating Seeds Made Easy on Tuesday, February 9th at 10 a.m. in the Lowry room.
There will be a Seed Swap at the end of the workshop so bring seeds to trade. According to Mother Earth News, a Seed Swap is "an informal local get-together, usually in early spring, where gardening neighbors all bring extra seeds saved from previous seasons — along with any surplus seedlings they won’t be able to use that year — and trade these valuable goods among themselves."
This program is free, open to the public and is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
Coffee and snacks will be provided. For more information, contact Norman librarian Theresa Tittle at 701-2625. |

 The Computer Training Center of the Norman Public Library, 225 N. Webster in downtown Norman, offers a free resume-writing workshop on Wednesday, January 20, at 6:30 p.m. Space is limited and registration is required.
The Great Resumes workshop is led by Conni Eckstein who has personal experience with both sides of the job-hunting experience.
“I've worked for over 30 years as both an engineer and a small business owner. I've had responsibilities for selecting candidates for interviews and then being a part of the interview and selection process. I've also been a candidate looking for work. I've learned how to maneuver an electronic resume submission successfully,” Eckstein said.
Eckstein advises workshop participants to bring their personal information—education, work history, and professional goals—to get started on crafting an effective resume during the class. She will also guide participants through the process of searching for and applying for jobs online.
“I want to give back to those who have lost a job or have had to return to work because of the current economy. I am very thankful to have a good job that has not been impacted by the economy. I appreciate the value of having a great resume. I would not have been selected to interview for my current position without one. I hope the class will be inspired to appreciate their accomplishments and have the confidence to put them on a resume,” Eckstein said. |
