Did you know that April 12-18 is National Library Week? Libraries are fantastic places. And to observe this fact, the American Library Association decides every year on a week in April that will serve as National Library Week. The Honorary Chair of this year’s week is Jamie Lee Curtis and the theme is “Worlds connect @ your library.”

Here at the Career Resource Library, it is firmly believed that National Library Week is the week to spiffy up your library career plans. We have an ever-growing collection of online and book resources for all of your LIS career needs.

Visit our eLibrary for our Library and Information Science; Archives online Career Guide.

This book goes into the daily routines of many types of library, and non-traditional information jobs. By reading some of these personal accounts, many insights can be gathered for your career exploration.
