Do you know someone who needs to use a computer to search
for jobs? To create a resume? To complete an online job application? Tell them about the WorkForce computers at
the Martinsburg Public Library.
The Workforce computers were given to the library by
WorkForce West Virginia a few years ago to expand their services by offering
public-access computers to different locations in communities throughout the
state. Funding was secured through a BroadbandUSA grant as a result of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
These computers are made available to the public solely for
the purposes of job-searching and related activities. Users are granted a longer work session on
these computers than on the public-access Internet computers in the computer
lab to permit users to complete their tasks.
Users must show a library card or a photo ID like a driver’s license to
register to use the WorkForce computers.
The WorkForce computers are located in the reference
department on the top floor of the Martinsburg Public Library. Library personnel are available to facilitate
usage and to provide assistance. Announcements of local job listings, open
positions at local companies, and community job fairs and opportunities are
posted on a bulletin board in the library’s WorkForce computer center.
