Many hearings are now be held by Zoom - an online audio and web conferencing platform. In order to help our patrons navigate this conferencing tool, RJS Board of Trustees Member Jim Wilder and University of Florida Community Resource Agent Carol Roberts have put together a helpful instructional video on using Zoom. Many thanks to Mr. Wilder and Ms. Roberts! Please contact the library if you'd like to reserve the library conference room for an upcoming trial.
