Literacy frompg 1
As Black explained, “financial literacy” refers to the ability to make informed decisions in areas ranging from personal finance to business management, teaching spending and saving skills to children or helping elders with retirement or estate planning. As part of the PA Forward program, the library is focused on five literacies: basic literacy, information literacy, civic and social literacy, health literacy and financial literacy. Having achieved the program’s goals in the first four areas, the library has been named a Silver Star Library by PA Forward. Strengthening its financial literacy focus will help the library achieve Gold Star status.
As one of its first financial resource programs, the library will host the Extreme Savings Coupon Club in the basement community room beginning on Thursday, Oct. 7, at 10 a.m. “People are encouraged to come and swap coupons and money-saving tips,” Black explained. Children are welcome to stay and play during the meeting.
For job seekers, the library has added an Employment Resources page to its website, where patrons can use online resources such as PA CareerLink or Brainfuse JobNow. “Brainfuse is a great resource, because it connects people with career coaches for oneon-one advice in their job search,” Black noted. She has been working to update and expand printed resources for financial literacy as well, including purchasing new books on budgeting and how to start a business. Onsite resources at the library include five public computers, Wi-Fi, print and copy services and access to newspapers for job listings. The library also participated in September’s 1st Thursday event in Manheim, with a booth featuring job resources and lists of open positions at the library’s major business sponsors. The financial literacy programs are just another way the library serves its community, Black said. “Libraries are more than just books,” she stated. “We are here to serve everyone’s needs, no matter what that need is, from learning to read to taking care of your health to focusing on your finances. We are here to help.” For more information on the financial literacy resources at the library, visit https://manheimlibrary.org. Masks are required for all indoor programs.

The Chatting group will offer a discussion on the topic “Crime Victim Forgives Man Who Tried to Kill Him” on Monday, Oct. 11. Chatting takes place every Monday from 7 to 8 p.m. via Zoom.
Attendees will discuss what forgiveness is, how God defines forgiveness, how God has forgiven humans, what it feels like to forgive someone, and how one’s willingness or unwillingness to forgive impacts one’s relationships with oneself, others, and God.

“Sign of the Time,” an art exhibition by Frederick D. Swarr of Lititz, will be on display through Saturday, Oct. 30. The exhibition may be viewed at Gretna Timbers, 350 Timbers Road, Mount Gretna.
The exhibit will feature photographs of a one-of-a-kind sign Swarr created on his former Mount Gretna property. Swarr painted the sign repeatedly with subjects relating to the various seasons, holidays, and events of the community. This art exhibition is a group of photographic images on canvas of some of the signs he painted from 2010 to 2020.
The public is invited to attend. For more information, call 717-964-3601.
