Are you tired of hearing about “these tough economic times?” The Summit County Libraries can help you visualize a brighter future. Publishers have been quick to jump on the changing financial needs of the American public, and the libraries' book shelves reflect this trend.
“Get the Job You Want, Even When No One's Hiring” by career consultant Ford R. Myers will help you focus on what you want to be doing when the market turns around. Myers stresses the importance of networking and employing tools beyond the resume, such as blogs, websites and social media.
“Job Searches Beyond the Big Cities” by Sarah Fuller is custom-made for Summit County residents who enjoy life close to the wilderness. Internet job searching, opportunities in government and freelancing are a few topics covered. Of course, the libraries also stock books on writing resumes and cover letters, and on interviewing.
The Complete Idiot's Guide series offers some timely titles. “Getting Out of Debt” by Ken Clark includes chapters on budgeting, following a spending plan and developing a payment strategy. Lita Epstein offers advice in “Improving Your Credit Score.” Retirement accounts are discussed in Jennifer Lane's “Protecting Your 401(k) and IRA.”
Another helpful book for those considering retirement is “Retire on Less Than You Think” by Fred Brock. Simplifying, exploring living options, analyzing health insurance, finding assets, working during retirement and collecting Social Security are all covered here.
For those still working, Jeff A. Schnepper's “How to Pay Zero Taxes: Your Guide to Every Tax Break the IRS Allows!” is worth browsing. You'll learn all about exclusions, credits, deductions and tax shelters.
If you find yourself trying to cut expenses at this time, “Frugal Living for Dummies: Practical Ideas to Help You Spend Less, Save More, and Live Well” by Deborah Taylor-Hough is for you. Thrifty cooking tips, frugal family fun and cutting utility bills are a few highlights of this useful guide.

In good times and not so good times, your library is here to help. It's one of the best bargains around.
