The Week @ the Katy Library – January 25th Edition

The IRS tax forms are in!  And starting next week (Feb 2nd), the volunteers with AARP will be here to help you file your annual income tax.  They’ll be here every Tuesday from 12:30pm-4:30pm until Tax Day in April.

Until then, try out this week’s job seminar on Tuesday, 1/26 at 10:30am, covering how to prepare great cover letters, thank you letters, and reference pages.  The local Workforce Solutions provides these seminars at the library, but did you know they have a new office in the Katy Mills Mall?

 

The Week @ the Katy Library – January 18th Edition

We’ll be closed on Monday, 1/18, for Martin Luther King Jr.’s Day.  Don’t let that stop you from coming in on Tuesday at 10:30am for our 2nd seminar in the Job Search series.  The topic this week is Evaluating Your Skills & Developing a Plan.

Also this week is our monthly Mosaico Cultural, a topical program conducted completely in Spanish.  The topic this month is all about filing your income taxes.  The program is on Wednesday, 1/20, at 6:00pm.

 

I Want to Grow Up Before I Die

500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow UpTons of books have come out in the last few years telling you what you need to see, eat, and do “before you die.” I like those books, but something about the whole concept depresses me a bit. So, how refreshing it was when I saw this book: Frommer’s 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up. Yes, that sounds better.

 

Do You Smell That?

How to Smell a RatThe worst smell I’ve ever encountered?  A decaying mouse that the cat brought in without my knowledge.  Rodents are not known for their pleasant aroma – neither are financial scam artists!  Ken Fisher knows this and recently published a book called How to Smell a Rat: The Five Signs of Financial Fraud.  Read it and tell your friends.

 

 

The Week @ the Katy Library – January 11th Edition

If you missed our Job Search Seminars last year, you’re in luck.  We’re starting 2010 with another round of seminars given by the Texas Workforce Solutions.  They’ll be every Tuesday from 10:30am to noon.  The first one starts this week on January 12th and will feature the topic: Resumes.
