Question: 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.
