Atchison Public Library

Atchison Public Library will offer a free resume writing workshop on Wednesday, September 30^th at 12:00 noon. in the lower level of the library.  The workshop is a presentation of Tutor.com (HomeWorkKansas) via webinar and is open to all those in the community seeking jobs or needing resume writing skills.  PLEASE NOTE:  This FREE seminar will provide only basic information and should not be confused with the advanced job search skills classes being offered in October by LevelHire of Atchison and the Atchison Economic Development Board.

Barbara Safani, author and owner of Career Solvers, will cover such things as:  writing a powerful profile and skills summary that outlines valuable work experience to hiring managers; transforming a list of job tasks into powerful success stories; leveraging education and internships to underscore experience; and using resume design templates to stand out from the crowd.

Seating is limited to 20 attendees and pre-registration is recommended to guarantee a seat.  You may register at the main circulation desk or by calling 367-1902 ext. 203.  If necessary, please leave a message with your name and phone number.

Girls attending the special Books and Boas party on September 14th show off the “dress up hats” they made during the PreTeenology sign-up event.  They also enjoyed a “tea party” with special treats.  If you missed this sign-up, don’t worry, you can sign-up at the first PreTeenology Club meeting of the season on Monday, September 28th from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  The theme is GAMES and we’ll be kicking off  the “Family Million Minutes of Games” project.  Don’t know what that is?  Come find out.  Oh yeah!  PIZZA WILL BE SERVED.

Join us at the Muchnic Gallery, 704 N. 4th Street, on Sunday, September 27th at 2:00 for what is becoming Atchison Library’s most attended adult activity.

This season’s mystery involves “prestidigitator” Roberto Clappini who built a reputation for card tricks that could deceive even the most well-trained eye.  His latest, and final, trick was proclaimed to be one that would take the art of sleight-of-hand to a new level.

It will take skill and investigative expertise to identify the perpetrator of this crime – and deal out a hand that could only be described as a “royal flush.”
