@VeroniqueB99 I remember an older man coming into our computer lab trying to apply to be cart return guy at his local Walmart. He'd already ... started, sort of...
It took an hour to figure out all the passwords and get things going.
He came back 30 days later b/c you have to do that. The third time we had it down to 15 minutes.
Hey, he ended up getting the job ;) but ... people need support for that.
@VeroniqueB99 Every day is Christmas at the library and librarians are a combination of Santa Claus and Sherlock Holmes.

@VeroniqueB99 So true! Libraries are vital to society and should be protected at all costs! โค๏ธ

#Alt4You Screenshot of a Twitter post from user LynnDee the Librarian (@lynndeeslibrary) that reads as follows:

A patron came in this week needing to borrow a (computer emoji) bc they had a virtual job interview.

We were able to provide a (computer emoji) & internet, + the space 2 do the interview. & they got the job.

THAT is the power of public libraries.

@VeroniqueB99 ALSO! when herself was still in library school, we'd volunteer at the local library. I volunteered to help homeless folks make an email account and a Linkedin profile.

Which is a long walk to say, YOU can also help people through the library. ๐ŸŽ‰

Just ask if they need help with something that you might enjoy doing.

it feels pretty good to help out folks. Seriously. If you're ever in a bad place and need to clear your head, go find someone to help. ๐Ÿ’š

@VeroniqueB99 excellent!! ๐Ÿท
I spent a great deal of my youth in libraries
