Apply for a 2010 Census Job Today
The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time
census takers for the 2010 Census. These short-term jobs offer good pay,
flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized work-related
expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of
all, census takers work right in their own communities. Census taker jobs
are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between
jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an
important service for their community.
Go to the Bureau's web site at
www.censusjobs.gov for more information
or call 1-866-861-2010 or 1-815-221-4470 today.
From the Director’s Desk
In recent months, the Lyons Library has undergone several facility upgrades.
We have a new roof and have removed the many buckets found around the
building collecting water in wet weather. We have purchased the property
adjacent to the library, demolished the structure and enclosed the property
with a fence. This new area has already been used several times for outdoor
programs for children and adults.
In 2010, we plan to upgrade and expand our computer network, refurbish the
public restrooms, paint certain areas of the library, expand the types of
materials available, increase programming for patrons of all ages and bring
staffing back to full complement while increasing service expertise.
These things were and will continue to be done through the careful and
considered long-range planning of the Lyons Library Board of Trustees and
Administration. Please be patient with our dust and staff training as we
continue to upgrade public services.
