FROM THE DIRECTOR
In October there are many things to celebrate including Hispanic Heritage Month, Italian-American Heritage
Month and Family History Month. We hope you will join us in these celebrations by participating in the virtual activities
that are being offered.
Our staff are reveling in the changing of the season with a plethora of fall activities. You will feel the chill in the air
and the leaves falling when you attend our crafting events for all ages and storytimes that glorify the season. Halloween
activities also abound with spooky crafts, virtual costume parties, book discussions, ghostly tales, mysterious trivia and
more. Mark your calendar so you don’t miss out on any of these autumnal events.
It is never too soon to prepare for college and your future career. Learn more about Library resources to help
you determine a career path, get a job and plan for college. On page 18 is a list of classes to help you or a loved one get
hired. There are a number of activities this month to help students and their parent prepare for college. Turn to page 6
to find out more.
The Library is hosting Sensory Friendly Browsing Hour on Saturdays from 10:00 am - 11:00 am to provide an
opportunity for special needs families to browse the library in a calm, judgement-free environment. By providing an
inclusive space for our special needs members we are finding ways to connect communities, inspire thought, and enrich
the lives of those around us. Plan to attend these in-person activities happening this month:
Oct 02 - Main Library, 3650 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach 33406
Oct 09 - Jupiter Branch, 705 Military Trl., Jupiter 33458
Oct 16 - Hagen Ranch Road Branch, 14350 Hagen Ranch Rd., Delray Beach 33446
Oct 23 - Royal Palm Beach Branch, 500 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm Beach 33411
With the challenges of the on-going COVID concerns we encourage you to attend our virtual activities and use
our online resources to check out digital materials for entertainment and educational needs.
Thank you for your continued support.

Preparing for College
Going to college is a big step for students and families alike. Often students have no idea what to expect
or how to proceed. Help from guidance counselors, friends, family and classmates is invaluable. The Library has a
number of resources available to help you navigate this path whether you are the parent or the student.
The activities we offer are just the tip of the iceberg, but they will help you understand the process.
You can also find online resources that will help you determine your career path. Career Transitions helps
you assess your career interests. The assessment asks you a series of questions and in just a few minutes you
can see whether your interests are in the arts, science or technology, administrative or business, caregiving
or investigatory and others. Based on your answers you will also see a list of possible jobs and pay ranges for
you to explore. Knowing where your interests are will save you a lot of time and money. You can access Career
Transitions from www.pbclibrary.org and click on online research.
Learning Express is another helpful online tool that offers career information, as well as college test
preparation for the SAT, ACT, AP Exams and more. There is also a section to help you write your admission essay.
The Library also partners with Achieve Palm Beach County, whose mission is to ensure that all children in
Palm Beach County have equitable access to a post-secondary education. Their website www.achievepbc.org has
resources for students, families and the community. There are checklists to help middle and high-school students,
as well as a checklist for parents during the college years. The earlier you start preparing for college, the better off
you will be. Achieve also has resources for those who choose a different path than college.
If you have additional questions or need help researching your options you can always speak to one of our
research specialists.

THE PATH TO COLLEGE By Christine Sylvain, Path to College
Going through the college admissions process is as much an opportunity to learn about yourself as it is a journey to
define and pursue your future college and career goals. Path to College aims to demystify this competitive and
sometimes overwhelming process by providing in-depth and comprehensive expert advice to students across our
County, regardless of economic background. As a partner of Achieve Palm Beach County, Path to College is commit-
ted to increasing the rate of students preparing for, enrolling in and persisting through degree credentialing
programs. With that shared mission in mind, we are happy to share a few quick tips to help you manage your career
and college search. The Library System also offers activities and workshops that help plan a path to college. Be on
the lookout for activities in the branch listings marked with this symbol:

October is ...
Family History Month
The popularity of DNA sequencing to research your heritage has driven an increase in the number of
people who are researching their family history. In 2002, the U.S. Congress designated October as “Family History
Month” to acknowledge people’s desire to research their family heritage and to recognize that “within our Nation’s
libraries and archives lie the treasured records that detail the history of our Nation, our states, our communities,
and our citizens.” Genealogy continues to be one of the most popular hobbies, and libraries all over the world
continue to provide the skills and resources people need to explore their family history.
The Palm Beach County Library System has a number of research tools available to help you find out
more about your family’s history. You can access these resources at www.pbclibrary.org. Ancestry Library
Edition provides access to Census data, searches of vital, military and immigration records. You can also find City
Directories, Obituaries, legal documents including wills, tax and land documents. This resource offers robust
access to your family history.
Heritage Quest is another online resource that has more than 4.4 billion records with coverage dating back
to the 1700s to help you find your ancestors and discover the places in their past. It has Census data and family
histories, compiled genealogies, church records, Freedman Bank registers and much more.
If you need assistance using these resources, contact your local branch and request a Book-A-Librarian
session with one of our librarians. They can help you use these services to find out more about your family.
The Palm Beach County Genealogy Society Library is located in the Main Library and they are currently
accepting appointments call 561-616-3455 to schedule. They are also hosting Genealogy Monthly Meet-up on Sat,
Oct 09 at 1:30 pm via Zoom. To attend register at www.pbclibrary.org.
