The Fayetteville library is hosting workshops for applying for jobs online and to generate better general computer skills.
"People come to the library during these difficult times because people see an opportunity to use the Internet and apply for jobs online," Terry said. "We really want to teach and equip them for their future."
Patrons at the Fayetteville Public Library said they support the library and its wonderful "reading environment."
"There's all kinds of resources at your immediate disposal at the library," said Bill Stehlik, a book reseller. "I come here when I have extra time off. It has a great view."
David Smart, another patron, agreed.
"It's a good library," Smart said. "I'm a periodicals-type person. Newspapers are very important for the wanted ads."
Michael Burdick, a UA senior finance major, said the library is a great place to study and finish his work.
"It's a lot more comfortable and a lot nicer [than Mullins]," Burdick said. "And it's an easier place to park."
