We're providing resources at the Main Library and through the Online Library that you can use now as you navigate through these tough times. To help you begin, we've teamed up with members of the Metro Net Library Consortium to produce the "Library Lifelines" checklist.

This is a quick guide to local and state resources that can help you search and apply for jobs, research options for health insurance, keep your home and maintain your credit. Each section of Tough Times—Library Lifelines features books, websites, electronic resources, blogs and podcasts, and library programs and services to help you find the answers you need.
