Wanted - Readers who love to talk about what they read.
December's book is Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger
A chatty murderer exposes the underbelly of India's tiger economy in this thrilling Indian novel that explodes the clichés – ornamental prose, the scent of saffron – associated with that phrase. Instead Adiga tells the tale of two Indias, where call-center workers tread the same pavement as beggars who burn street rubbish for warmth. Adiga won the 2008 Man Booker Prize for this debut novel.
Pick up a copy at the Popular Culture desk, and join us to talk about what you think.

Resume Workshop
|
|
| |

Contact: Electronic Services 330.643.9145 esdiv@akronlibrary.org
|
| |
|
Bring a chronology of your work and/or educational history with you to these workshops, and use resume writing software that offers hundreds of pre-written job duty descriptions to clearly define your skills and qualifications. Take the hassle out of trying to come up with phrases ridden with cliches and jargon that only serve to confuse the reader. Practice with the built-in videos to sharpen your job interviewing and salary negotiating skills. Don't let tricky or difficult questions spoil your chances at landing that coveted job! Take advantage of overlay themes that will make your resume and/or cover letter look clean, uncluttered, and professional. Save your work as an electronic document and leave our workshop with a high-impact ready-to-print product.
Attendees must bring a flash drive on which to save their work. Inexpensive flash drives ($4.50/512mb) are available for purchase at the Library. Ear buds (for listening to the videos) are also available for purchase at the Library for $1.00, or bring your own.
Computer classes are held on the first floor, in computer lab 1.
