Governor Terry Branstad visits the Pocahontas Public Library

for Town Meeting and to recognize the Library for  adding Iowa Workforce access points for the community to use. 

Governor Terry Bransted  and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds was joined with about 50 community members for a town hall meeting

to voice concerns on the economy, jobs, and funding for schools.  The Governor also mentioned Iowa Workforce and how several

offices would be closing at the end of August 2011.  He was very appreciative that libraries were willing to step up and allow access

points to be put on their computers for the public to use to fill out unemployment forms, resumes, and search for jobs.  See the

Pocahontas Record Democrat, August 31, 2011 issue for the entire news article on the visit.    People are welcome to stop at

the library to use the Iowa Workforce Website.  If you need assistance getting started then ask a Librarian to help you get

started.
