Excellent article Meagan! I highly recommend that everyone read it. There is a wealth of information in this article. Terrific suggestions for support services that libraries everywhere can provide for job seekers. Meagan has also provided terrific links to additional lifelong learning classes and civic engagement opportunities. Plus the links within many of the links give even more resources.

Meagan, Thanks for a very interesting and informative article! While many libraries provide career information and related services, your article provides specific references and resources which can be used to add to their information and complement or strengthen their services. I will refer your article to the Director of Libraries in my home county (Howard County, MD).

Nicely done Meagan. We have a fairly robust career arm in our local library and I will be sharing this article with them for sure.

Lots of great resources!

Hi Elizabeth, Niel and Jim,

Thank you for your comments and sharing this information with libraries near you!

It was exciting to write about and hope that more viewers will continue to read and/or comment on the growing partnership between career development professionals and libraries.

Thank you for including our book, "Blueprint to have a job center in your library" as essential reading about
providing job service in the library. The first 5 star review has just appeared online. I hope you and your colleagues may like to have some comments.
Though I have retired from job services in the public library, I am still active in volunteering job coaching with the Workforce Connection and California Employment Development Department. I conduct 2 job clinics monthly. One is about hidden job market (First Things First;) the other, "Interview Dynamics Workshop," trains job seekers how to communicate
with story telling about their matching skills. It stands for STARC -Situation, Task, Action, Result, and Connect. I had 15 students this afternoon; and we had a ball learning and laughing.
My first professional job was at Cuyahoga County Library way back. I earned my MLS degree from Case Western Reserve Library.

Hi Bernice, Wow! Thank you for your comment and congratulations on your book review. What a small world! I'd love to talk with you more about your work at Cuyahoga County Public Library - we are preparing to celebrate 40 years, in 2016, of offering career services to the community! Thank you for continuing to provide career services.
