We are pleased and excited to announce the roll-out of a new program for buyers… Job Loss Insurance.
This is a cool program to take a little bit of apprehension out of buying a home. In effect, it is an insurance policy that protects the buyer in case of job loss. The policy will make up to 6 payments during the first year of ownership if you lose your job involuntarily (two periods up to 3 months each). It is available with coverages up to $2000/mo.
The Gwinnett County Library System is reviewing the plan it had for several of its library branches; Lilburn, Snellville and Dacula.
According to the News article on the Library’s website, they are moving to a Regional Service Model. Under that model, the three mentioned libraries would become “Computer Libraries” and would have “Customers will be able to use computers for longer periods of time, return books, pick up holds, get library cards and use a photocopier at the computer access Library locations. These library centers will continue to be staffed by librarians and other staff qualified to address information and reference questions. You will still be able to browse the entire collection online and request delivery of materials to the pick up location of your choice.”
The way I read that is that the affected branches wouldn’t have many books… but rather would be places to pick up ordered books instead of roaming the stacks.
The Gwinnett Daily Post recently had a story about the outcry from some business and civic leaders regarding the changes. While I understand the desire to cut budgets… This doesn’t really seem to be that much of a game changer to me…

Gwinnett County Public Schools are undergoing a redistricting plan due to growth in the county. The new plan is expected to begin with the 2010 school year. It was announced on October 2nd, 2009. There are several dates to keep in mind:
The redistricting that affects Snellville and Loganville is as follows…
I also expected to see Lanier High School as part of the plan, but I guess it might not be ready in time.
If you’d like to send a message to the committee, here are the forms…
