CHESAPEAKE -- Help finding a job is as close as the Chesapeake libraries.

Teaming up with Opp Inc., a federal workforce development program, Chesapeake developed SNAP, which stands for Share Network Access Points.

You can find everything from lists of job openings to online resources, get one-on-one help and even advice on resumes.

"We also have the ability to refer people back to Opportunity Inc to get educational funding," explains Betsy Fowler, the director of Chesapeake Library and Research Services.

SNAP centers and job clubs can be found at the seven city libraries

At the Indian River location, the program seems to be working.

"We have had eight success stories at this branch alone," notes Givonne Ponton, an assistant at the Indian River library.

Antoine Hines hopes to be a success story, too.

After 10 years in the Navy, he’s getting out and is using SNAP and the job club to find work.

"I utilize a lot of the Websites and the job offers that they have over here on the boards as well as the books and different information that the librarians have," he says.

Fowler says you don’t have to live in the city to take advantage of the service.

"Anybody can come in. You don't have to be a member. You don't even have to be a resident. We're happy to help you," she says.
