New Web Site for
Kentuckians Facing Economic Difficulty
Message from Gov. Steve Beshear to
Public Librarians:
"During this time
of economic uncertainty, all Kentuckians need to know that state government
is on their side.
One way I am demonstrating that commitment is through the
creation of a new Web site,
assistance.ky.gov – a one-stop shop where many forms of public
assistance are available in one easily accessible site.
This Web site provides links to information about programs
that can help during these tough economic times. At
assistance.ky.gov, you will find help on paying bills, obtaining a job
and holding onto your home if or when foreclosure is threatened.
Unfortunately, many of the people who may benefit from the
services offered on the Web site may not have Internet access except through
their public library. I encourage you to share the
assistance.ky.gov Web site with your clientele who may be served by
these programs.
Historically,
the use of public libraries increases during times of economic downturn.
With your help, it is my hope that together we can better assist our
citizens and provide them the resources they need to endure these
challenging times."
