All students attending college next year should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The form is completed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. On Thursday, Feb. 16 from 6:00-8:00 pm, computers will be available at the Library for students and parents to use to work on the application. Help with the on-line process will be provided by Suzy Holtsclaw and Theresa Twaddle. Participants should bring copies of their income tax form, since this information is needed for the application.
High School students are also encouraged to attend.
This workshop will review resources available from Illinois Worknet for completing a job application,
preparing a resume, writing cover letters, and tips to help prepare for a job interview.
Bring information about your education and job history (dates employed),
so you may update or begin preparing your resume.
Programs are funded by an "Eliminate the Digital Divide" Grant, awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO).

Our capital giving campaign continues. We have raised over $30,000 toward our $150,000 goal. Donors of $100 or more will be recognized with their name on a plaque. Silver Sponsors (donors of $1000 or more) and Golden Givers (of $5000 or more) will be listed on a special display board created from one of our old card catalog drawer cabinets.

Carthage Public Library has registered as the local coordinator for 5 state-wide reading programs. This allows any student in our area (including those who are home schooled) to particpate in these programs.More information is available about each program by clicking on the links below.
For each program, there is a list of 20-25 books. Students are required to read a specified number of the books to receive a certificate, and a small prize.
For 4 of the 5 programs, students can then vote for their favorite book and the votes throughout the state are tallied to determine the year's award winner.
