The Massachusetts Library 50+ Job Seekers Networking Group meets via Zoom on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, from 9:30am to 11:30am. Informal networking takes place from 9am to 9:30am and 11:30am to noon. If you are unemployed and actively looking, underemployed, seeking a new career direction, re-entering the job market after a long employment gap, or recently retired and looking for your "Encore Career," this networking group program is perfect for you! Remember, 85% of jobs are found through networking! Join us in a professional forum for networking with peers in a safe and comfortable environment conducive to developing new relationships and developing skills and strategies to help in your career transition. Each meeting features a new topic. Meetings include a presentation and interactive workshop on topics relevant to career transition, guest speakers, access to hiring managers, small group breakout rooms to network, and 1-on-1 coaching guidance. Participating on a regular basis will give job seekers the many tools and strategies needed for a successful job search. Each biweekly meeting is facilitated by Deborah Hope, MBA, PCIC, an experienced executive career coach. Deborah is a former Fortune 500 executive, investment banker and entrepreneur. She transitioned to executive coaching over 12 years ago. Deborah has coached with Harvard Business School Executive Education programs and the Massachusetts Conference for Women. She has been trained or certified in a variety of coaching models and assessment tools. Deborah has facilitated 50+ job seekers networking groups since 2016.

Join us for some story time fun outside this summer in the field behind Crescent Ridge Dairy.  We will read books, sing songs, play games, and more! Books are geared toward children in 2-5 years old, but children outside that age range are welcome to join. Registration is not required but encouraged so you get notifications about weather related cancelations. This story time will be outside in the sun so remember your sunscreen! Feel free to bring a blanket, chairs, picnic and whatever else will keep you and your little ones comfortable. In the event of bad weather, Story Time will be moved to the Story Time area at the Sharon Public Library. Announcements will be made here in the calendar, via email, and on social media if it is moved indoors. Crescent Ridge Dairy is located at 407 Bay Rd, Sharon, MA 02067. Story time will be held in the field next to the dairy bar. Look for the goats and white tent. I reccommend parking behind the dairy bar so you are close to the gate and away from ice cream traffic.  Questions?
