Finally, after years of hard work, you are now getting your library degree. You might be very excited to jump into the library workforce but what if you don't know what type of library you want to work at/in? If you don't have library experience, do you ever wonder how you can qualify for librarian jobs? Do you know what you need to land an interview and a job offer? Do you want to expand your professional network? We invite you to join the ALCTS New Member Interest Group (ANMIG) as we discuss your questions on what path you can take now that graduation is near and how ALCTS can help or support you. On Wednesday, April 29th, at 2 p.m. EST, ANMIG officers will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice. Come chat with your ANMIG peers and calm your fears.
