LAST PRINTED EDITION OF THE RESOURCE DIRECTORY IS ALMOST GONE

The final printed edition of the Fresno County Resources Directory is now available for purchase. There are only a few copies left so if you want the LAST printed version of this valuable directory be sure to order it now.

This directory again reflects a major change in the social service delivery system. Around 125 programs are no longer being offered in Fresno County but 130 "new" programs were added. In order to stay on top of all these changes it is time to toss your old directory into the trash and replace it with this more accurate new directory.

If you would like a copy of this LAST printed directory that will be published by the I&R Network, take a moment now to submit your subscription form. A limited number of copies of this last edition have been printed, so if you want to ensure you get a copy of this directory be sure to sign up now. A subscription form is on the inside back cover of this newsletter.

Starting next year there will only be the online directory of services. Need training on how to use the online directory for your staff? Call Joe, Lori or Jason at (559) 488-3857 to arrange training sessions. The Network will also be offering training at the Central Library computer lab; watch the Network News for announcements in the coming weeks.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

 

BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY

Stepcoupling: Creating and Sustaining a Strong Marriage in Today's Blended Family (New York : Three Rivers Press, 2002) by Susan Wisdom and Jennifer Green, price $19.95.

DESCRIPTION: Different parenting styles, finances, relationships with ex-spouses, legal matters, and even seemingly simple issues such as the kinds of chores assigned to children can chisel away at your union if you don't always make your marriage a priority. Stepcoupling offers advice for stepcouples on how to do just that-all the while strengthening their blended family with a healthy marriage.

CALL NUMBER: 306.8747/WIS

LOCATION: Central, Kingsburg, Reedley.

Please Don't Shoot the Messenger!: How to Talk to Demanding Bosses, Clueless Colleagues, Tough Customers and Difficult Clients Without Losing your Cool (or Your Job!) (Chicago : Contemporary Books, 2000) by Gary S. Goodman, price $14.95.

DESCRIPTION: The business world is filled with situations that may require a person to break bad news or give uncomfortable information to people who don't want to hear it. In this book, the author arms you with helpful and practical communication skills that will help you sail through situations such as these with customers and colleagues alike.

CALL NUMBER: 658.4052/G622p

LOCATION: Central, Clovis, Fig Garden, Sunnyside.

The Price of Government: Getting the Results We Need in an Age of Permanent Fiscal Crisis (New York : Basic Books, 2004) by David Osborne and Peter Hutchinson, price $25.00.

DESCRIPTION: This book is a roadmap for change, offering concrete solutions drawn from the authors' combined thirty years of experience leading and advising public institutions. The authors begin by describing a radically different approach to budgeting --one that focuses on buying results for citizens rather than cutting or adding to last year's spending programs and show how leaders can use consolidation, competition, customer choice, and a relentless focus on results to save millions while improving public services.
