Beginning June 4, the Gloucester City Library will offer assistance with online applications for unemployment benefits. “Many people are getting a busy signal when they try to apply by phone for their unemployment checks and many people aren’t familiar enough with computers to apply online. That’s where the library steps in. Our librarians will guide applicants through the maze of forms and the process will be completed electronically,” says library Director Elizabeth Egan. Librarians Erica Cathers, Deena Worrell, and Christie Peterson, all trained in the intricacies of the online system, will hold regularly scheduled, personalized “lessons”. Gloucester residents (non-residents cannot be accommodated) are urged to call the library at 456-4181 to sign up. The library also offers help with online job searching and general computer education.
