Join us for a presentation entitled 'Spotlight on Today's Women' in celebration of March as Women's History Month. This event is free to all and will be held Tuesday, March 30th at 7 pm. Topics to be covered include Business, Career, Financial Freedom, Health and Entrepreneurship. Friends of Yeadon Library member Sandra Wilks (and special speakers to be announced closer to the date) will empower and inform everyone! Men are welcome too!

The Library is partnering with Census 2010 to ensure everyone participates and completes the Census. The Library will be an authorized Questionnaire Assistance Center, and Census representatives will be at the Library from March 19th to April 19th during the following times to assist residents with any Census questions they may have: Mon-Thur from 6 pm-9 pm and Saturdays from 10 am-1 pm.

Everyone must be counted - make sure you complete the Census so that Yeadon can have an accurate population count. Each year, federal expenditures are made for education, transportation, and health care - these funds are based on census data, so it's important to be counted!

In conjunction with Elevator Group Publishing, we are pleased to welcome Darby author PJ McCalla to the Yeadon Library on March 11th at 7 pm to read from and discuss her first published title. Heads Deacon Tails Devil is set in the early 1900s and is the story of abusive relationships in a family trying to stay together and remain strong. Robert Grant is a long-standing deacon and spirit-stirring soloist at a Baptist Church, and shows his best side to his adoring public but is the devil incarnate at home. Everyone is invited to come hear Ms. McCalla speak about her intense and gripping novel.

If your yearly income is $50,000 or below, you may get your taxes prepared free of charge by IRS-trained volunteers.
