The Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library in Oxford, MS has partnered with Families First of North Mississippi to provide online job assistance including online applications, resumes, and setting up email addresses. We noticed that many of our patrons needed so much help with this and as a busy branch we did not feel we could always have enough time to help. Families First provides us with a volunteer once a week to do just that. The program began January 22nd and has been very successful so far. The word is out and patrons have begun to show up at the appointed time. This was much needed in our community and we are very excited to be able to offer this.
