Each county has their own Job Resource Center page that brings together six great resources to help those people who are looking to find jobs or develop their careers. Take some time to explore each resource found on your county's page, access them here:

More information on the six great job resources for patrons, a great way for library staff to learn more:

5. Quick Answers for Patrons on the Go is a web site developed with the help of hundreds of MHLS member library staff.
