Help with taxes
On Wednesday, April 15, 2015,
your federal and state taxes for 2014
will be due. Will you be ready?
If you are looking for a
particular tax form, chances
are the Paso Robles City Library
can help. The Library is
one of the few places to offer
both federal and state tax forms. They
also carry instruction booklets for the
most common forms, and Reference
Desk staff can assist with accessing
and printing forms from websites.
They may have a small supply of the
most common forms already printed
out for you to purchase. Copies of tax
forms (as with all copies) are only 20
cents per page, so bring in your list of
forms needed to get your copies today.
As in prior years, the Library
and the Senior Center will partner
with AARP Tax Aide to provide
free tax assistance. Call the Library,
237-3870, to sign up for Saturday
tax preparation appointments at the
Library beginning February 7. Call
the Senior Center, 237-3880, to sign
up for Tuesday appointments at the
Veterans’ Building (next to the Senior
Center) beginning February 3, and
Thursday appointments beginning
February 5.
You do not need to be a senior
to use the service provided at the
Library or the Senior Center. The
AT THE LIBRARY
AARP Tax Aide program is for most
taxpayers (certain exceptions
do apply) who
would like assistance in
preparing their tax returns.
IRS-certified volunteers
provide free basic
income tax return preparation to
taxpayers, assisting with various tax
credits such as the Earned Income
Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and
Education Credits.
The Paso Robles City Library is
located at 1000 Spring Street and
is open Monday – Friday 10 a.m.
to 8 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. For more information on

February’s Book
Group Read
The Paso Robles
City Library invites
the public to discuss
Girl in Translation by
Jean Kwok on Thursday,
February 19 at
7 p.m. in the Library
Conference Room.
Loosely based on the author’s
own life, Girl in Translation tells the
story of Kimberly Chang and her
mother who emigrate from Hong
Kong to Brooklyn. Kimberly settles
into leading a double life: exceptional
schoolgirl by day, and sweatshop
worker by night, Kimberly is forced
to constantly translate not just her
language, but herself, straddling the
well-to-do world of her school days
with the grinding poverty of her
home life.
Margrete Koreska’s Journey
“Art has become an important
part of my life,” says artist Margrete
Koreska, displaying during February
at the Library. “I want my work to
be captivating and uplifting through
strong color and design. I enjoy the
challenge of a wide variety of subjects
inspired by my travels and many other
interests.” For Koreska, art is a lifelong
journey with great challenges and inspirations.
Also during the month of
February, enjoy the imagination and
creativity
of Jeanne
Aird’s grade
8 Flamson
students’
unique ceramic
boxes.
