There are a lot of benefits that come from having a public library system in Coos Bay and in surrounding areas. One way the Coos Bay Public Library can benefit residents is that it can provide them everything they need to find jobs.

These days, even in Coos Bay, most companies want you to apply to work for them through the internet. However, the internet is not always available for those that need it which is why the library is such a useful tool.

The Coos Bay Public Library is open 10 in the morning to 6 at night in Coos Bay on Monday, August 14th when this was written. Check their website before heading out if you want to make sure they'll be open when you go there.

You can generally do any task needed to find employment at the library. Even if you needed to print a physical resume for a Coos Bay job opportunity, you can do it at the library. It does cost 20 cents per page at the time this was written so check online to see if those prices have changed recently.

Recent events happening at the library range from a drop-in computer lab on August 18th to a virtual community cooking event on August 24th. They have events all the time according to their website so check there if you live in the area to see what's coming up.

There is even the ability to sign up for your library card through their website or you can do it in person. Whatever you need help with, there are employees working at the library and they generally love to assist.
