Business Tuesday Programs
|
|
Tuesday, April 16 @ 7:00 PM
Main Library Meeting Room
For a small business owner "Success" might simply mean enough cash in the bank. The banker would look at a few years of balance sheets and P&L statements but what good is that if you can not make payroll? Other than paying employees and other debtors, cash also generates flexibility and resilience. But cash is not cash flow. This session will get into the subject of cash flow. Attendees will
- Gain an understanding of cash flow
- Learn how to develop a cash flow statement and projections
- Set goals
- Learn ways to optimize cash flow
Registration is not required. This program is free and open to all.

Volunteer Hours for
Young Adult Book Reviews
You asked, we listened. For those in need of more community service hours, you now have another option! Here’s how it works:
- You read a book at least 100 pages in length.
- You fill out the form we provide in the library, which includes information about the book, and a 1.5-page review (I.e., Half of the front and the entire back of the page) of the book.
- Turn the form in--with a week for us to process your entry--we can we give you one hour of community service for every 100 pages read. So if you read a 374-page book, you get three hours.
That’s it. It’s easy!

Many of our programs do not require registration, but kindly click on the flyers and links to register for programs on-line. You are also welcome to call the library locations to ensure that space is available.
