If you're looking for work, the Library offers a number of resources and services that can help you in your search. We've also just begun the third season of our popular Job Club; anyone currently looking for employment is welcome to join.
The Library will conduct online Job Club sessions on topics ranging from finding your ideal career to tweaking your resume.
