1. The popular Junior Librarian program will be back this summer, The Bedford Public Library said on Facebook. What does a junior librarian do? Have your questions answered at an upcoming information session on Wednesday, May 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the library, and on Monday, May 16, and Wednesday, May 18, via Zoom. All sessions will have the same information, organizers said. Find out more about the schedule and event here: (Facebook)
2. If you are a local business owner, the Animal Rescue League of N.H. has a proposal for you. Good help is hard to find, so they are offering shelter pets for hire with "skill sets to match any job," (and will provide pet resumes too). Choose the pet you want to hire and display a pet "Employee of the Month" plaque provided by the ARLNH to promote your shelter pet, and the ARLNH will help promote your business!
