Financial Relief during the Pandemic
|
|
Mary Searles of the NH Law Library sent this handy quick link list for CFPB Information on options and deadlines for a variety of relief options, some as part of new legislation.
A new law provides relief for renters and extends the CDC’s Order to protect many people who can’t pay their rent from eviction through January 31, 2021.
Congress passed legislation providing an additional $300 per week to all workers receiving unemployment benefits. The supplement begins after December 26, 2020 and ends on March 14, 2021.
Some homeowners struggling to pay their mortgage now have a little extra time to seek help.
Interest and monthly payments on federally-held loans are suspended through January 31, 2021.
The Law Library is now open by appointment, and is still offering curbside service and remote assistance. Email lawlibrary@courts.state.nh.us or call 603-271-3777.
Community Action Program handles some federal financial assistance programs. Leave a message at 456-2207 for fuel and electric assistance, and/or help with back rent.
The Warner Energy Committee sponsors a Wood Bank to provide firewood to Warner residents in urgent need. Limited quantities are given free, for emergency relief.
Requests may be made to the Warner Selectboard office at 456-2298. Pick up or delivery will then be coordinated with the Wood Bank.

Enter Magical Worlds - Through the Library
by Roger Robbins
Some writers create not just stories but their own special world, a geography for the reader's mind that sparks instant recognition and enjoyment.
In this non-fiction series, visit the English town of Darrowby and the veterinary practice of Siegfried Farnon and James Herriot. Experience zany characters and touching true-life dramas that will have you laughing and crying at the same time.
Dutch Amish Country, Pennsylvania
Beverly Lewis' Amish fiction is tremendously popular, taking readers inside an intriguing world whose stories have won many fans.
Mitford (fictitious town), North Carolina
Enjoy the gentle tales of Mitford. Meet the people and journey through their days, centered on Father Timothy Kavanagh, the Episcopal rector.
Remember, we can borrow titles not in our collection. Just ask!

Tech Tips: MS Teams Meetings |
A free alternative to Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp or Zoom for those interested in video chatting with others is Microsoft Teams, also known as a Teams Meeting.
The meeting can be hosted by anyone with a free Microsoft account, and attended by anyone who has been given the link.
You can create a free Microsoft account by registering your email, with a password of your choice, at signup.live.com/.
|
|
One disadvantage of Teams compared to Zoom appears to be that only people using the Teams App (which requires an account) can use the "gallery" or grid view to see multiple people at once on one screen. Using the browser link to join the meeting only allows "speaker view", which shows only the person who is currently speaking (or coughing, or tapping the desk...).
Also we hear Apple device users may have trouble using Teams in certain browsers, so the App is recommended in that case.
