TOUGH TIMES

In the early 80’s, I remember a children’s book that we had in the library called Tough Times.  The book was about a little boy whose family was dealing with more bills than the money to pay them.  The usual answer the little boy got when he wanted to buy something was, “You know it’s tough times now.”  Through the love and understanding of his family he learned that tough times can also be good times.    For many, these are tough times and frightening times.  It is a time to be kind to yourself.  Here are some ideas for the tough times:

 The library has lots of resources that you can use to improve your situation in the tough times like: music, movies, and books that you can borrow with your library card without paying anything.  We have information about finances, job-hunting, and family fun.  You can get magazines or read the newspaper.  You can just sit and enjoy the garden.  Help me spread the word, the library is here to use in good times or in tough times.
