Opportunity at the Library
 
One of the key ingredients of libraries is the idea that everyone in a community has access to quality knowledge and information--no matter who you are now you have access and opportunities for lifelong learning and growth.  
 
That's why Adult Programming is so excited to highlight our programs in career and workforce development this month.  Whether you're exploring options, unemployed, or underemployed we have a range of resources to support your journey!
 
Upcoming Workforce & Career Development Programs
Do What You Are. Turn Your Personality into a Career

Take a Myers-Briggs personality quiz to determine what career fits best with your personality.  Then, in this program, follow up with a discussion of personal and professional skills and learn how to write a concise resume and cover letter.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
