You Asked, We Answered!

Ask a LibrarianQuestion: I need to find a job. Can the library help me with my search?

Answer:  Yes! We offer many resources for all stages of your career search.

Try our online job-focused research tools, especially Career Cruising, which has insightful information about hundreds of different career paths and how to obtain them. It's free to use at home for all patrons with resident or digital access cards, and free for everyone on the public computers inside the library.

Our employment resource page includes online job search boards and tools for freshening up your resume and cover letter (or starting from scratch!)

We can even give you personalized help creating or editing your resume or cover letter. Just email jobhelp@lcplin.org and a librarian will get back to you. Good luck on your search!
