A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
Patrons at the library that use career services go beyond those who are unemployed. There are many that are looking at career transitions and need extra support in pivoting.
Leaders constantly assess how they are doing and how they are showing up.
Libraries serve as community hubs and offer more than just books such as internet service when it’s not readily accessible at home, other career services, a variety of activities and more.
