I've been gathering some real life examples of how libraries are helping their patrons. Many of these you've probably heard of, or have implemented yourself, but hopefully you'll find something new on the list!
Resume and cover letter workshops
Computer reserved for job applications - both online and creating resumes
Staff assigned to help specifically with job related computer questions
Entrepreneurial workshops
Coupon exchanges
Data on local, state, metro and regional unemployment and fiscal situation
Coffee or other social settings for job seekers
Job fairs
Online pathfinders for job seekers
Assistance from staff for applying for unemployment
Home for support groups
Increasing free programs on a variety of topics - not all job related
Websites, brochures, blogs and Twitter feeds on unemployment, budgeting, etc.
