Ancestry Library Edition

Begin researching your family history with this collection of records and user-created content. This resource is available to all patrons within the library building.

Interlibrary Loan

Library patrons in good standing may request up to five titles at a time through our interlibrary loan service. To find titles that may be available, start your search with World Cat. Then, visit the Information Desk on the upper level of the library to make a request. The fee for interlibrary loan requests is the cost of return postage for each item borrowed, and lending periods vary according to the policies of the lending institution. Patrons must call the library to request renewals for interlibrary loan items.

NCWorks Online

This is a one-stop online resource for job seekers and employers in North Carolina. Job seekers can search for jobs, create resumes, and find education and training. Employers can find candidates, post jobs, and search labor market information.

Résumés, Résumé Help, and Job Search Help Sessions

Our library's public computers all have Microsoft Word (2018 version), which can be used to make a résumé for job searching. The Library offers one-on-one help sessions, by appointment, for making a résumé or for using the NCWorks Online web site.
