AARP Tax Assistance
With the tax season quickly approaching, seniors and low-income residents can receive help through a FREE service offered by AARP. AARP Tax-aide volunteers, trained by the Internal Revenue Service and the Maryland Comptroller’s Office, assist taxpayers over 60 and those in low-income tax brackets file Federal and State tax returns. AARP membership is not required.
North County residents can call Audrey Creamer at 410-255-6964 between 9 am. and 5 pm. for an appointment at the North County Area Library on Fridays, February 5 through April 9, 9 am. to 1 pm. or to ask questions during the tax season.

Babies in Bloom

Tot’s Line, a lively and informative discussion of issues and concerns related to caring for newborn to five year-olds follows all programs marked with an asterisk (*). Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Mondays, March 1, April 5 and May 3* at 9:30 a.m.
