The public is invited to this free presentation. Jeff has written “Blind Authority” a book that describes events in his life as he attempted to find his place in the world of religions. Jeff was raised in a traditional Jewish family. After he became a Christian his parents had deprogrammers kidnap him on two separate occasions. The first time was in an attempt to convince him to not become a Christian. But six years later the second was an attempt to remove him from a Bible study group that had turned into a dangerous authoritative cult. Please stop in and hear Jeff talk about various aspects of cult behavior and about how he found his way after numerous trials. ]]> http://www.philolibrary.info/2012/02/local-author-jeff-goldberg-to-speak/feed/ 0 Tax Time http://www.philolibrary.info/2012/01/tax-time/ http://www.philolibrary.info/2012/01/tax-time/#comments Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:57:09 +0000 Editor http://www.philolibrary.info/?p=533 It is that time of year again. Hunting tax forms, reviewing receipts, and trying to remember where you put that last piece of information needed to satisfy the IRS. Here at the Philo Public Library, we have a couple of options to try to make the tax process a little less stressful. First, we are receiving a variety of 2011 tax forms and instructions. Tax forms can also be printed at the cost of 10 cents per page. Our next effort to help is Vernon Meier will be available at the Philo Public Library to assist you in filling out your tax forms. Vernon is trained by the AARP and can file most Illinois and Federal tax returns online. He will be working by Appointment Only at the library on Thursday afternoons beginning February 9th. He can be reached at 684-2935 if you would like to talk with him and see about setting up an appointment.
