Career Launch Pad

Take advantage of the library’s Career Launch Pad service! Book a one-on-one session with a library staff person to help you with your job search. Fill out applications, update your resume and find out about local resources that can help you take your next step in your career.

Additional help may include guided job searching, interview prep, applying for government benefits, creating an email and other needs in the job search process.

Appointments are based on availability and set for at least one business day out. Call or walk-in to schedule. Available in Spanish at some locations.

Career Launch Pad is currently available at the 6th floor of the Central Library and all branch locations.
