"People need to work, I mean we're losing our homes, we're losing things that we need, a lot of people don't even have food," says job searcher Jeana Miller.

You hear about it everyday.

People need jobs--and some are finding them right up these steps..

"People come here rather than other places because there is a better chance for them to get a job," said Library Technical Manager Holly Hedden.

With free, high speed internet more recently libraries have found themselves as a haven for job searchers.

Kentucky even started a grant program for libraries to open career centers, which is welcome news to those who are searching.

"We see a lot of the people coming in, they're putting their job applications in online and submitting them to employers using our computers, they are putting together their resumes. They sometimes come and attend the classes that we offer that can help them with job skills and people with job hunting," said Hedden.

Bowling Green's unemployment rate is around 8%.
Surrounding counties like Butler and Barren both have rates around 11% and Edmondson has an unemployment rate of more than 10%.

In fact their library has been given a grant for a career center ,but when you compare that to the national average of around 9%-- Bowling Green is doing pretty well.

Although it may not seem so to those searching.

"It is a little bit hard right now," said job seeker Miller.
"We do have a lot of people looking in Warren county, I do know that," said Hedden.

It helps to know the community is working together to make sure everyone has a chance to get a job.
