Economic Stimulus Payment. Don't give away free money! If you don't usually have to file an income tax return, but are eligible for the Economic Stimulus Payments as a Social Security recipient, veteran, or some other beneficiary class, April 15th was not your deadline. You have until October 15, 2008 to file a very simple form. Your library will keep those forms on hand, or you can get more information at http://www.irs.gov.
Online databases from Facts on File! The Library now has access to three new reference databases. African-American History Online, American History Online, and American Women’s History Online each have thousands of entries—topical entries, biographies, maps, timeline entries, primary source documents, and images—which are hyperlinked and allow you to follow a path to related entries. Your library card number is your key to log in to these authoritative resources from home, school, or office.
The Library has subscribed to "LearningExpress
Library," a comprehensive, interactive online learning platform of
practice tests and tutorial course series designed to help
patrons—students and adult learners—succeed on the academic or licensing
tests they must pass. You'll get immediate scoring, complete answer
explanations, and an individualized analysis of your results.
