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! |
