Did you know your local library card gives you access to SO much more than books?📚💻

Through one of our proud partners, Queen Anne's County Library, online databases and E-Library resources, community members can access FREE tools for career development, education, job readiness, personal growth, language learning, test prep, resume support, automotive training, online courses, eBooks, audiobooks, and more. Resources include platforms like Gale Courses, Udemy, Mango Languages, Peterson’s Test & Career Prep, Adult Learning Center, Chilton Library, and many others.

At Not My Child, we are always looking for ways to connect individuals and families with resources that support recovery, workforce development, education, and fresh starts. Whether someone is exploring a new career path, working toward educational goals, building life skills, or simply learning something new, these tools can be an incredible resource. And they are all accessible with a library card.

It truly takes a village, and we believe collaboration over competition is how we create stronger recovery communities together. Wishing Norm, Shawan and their team continued success as they begin this next chapter. 💜 Give them a follow.
