Tired of juggling P/T contract work and constantly looking for actual library jobs? Stop waiting and start doing.
Hear and see how underemployed Library Technician Jeff Kirby took a tired community hall in one of the largest Non-Profit Housing Co-operatives in North America and transformed it into what is now City Park Library (cityparklibrary.com) with hundreds of readers/visitors who participate in their 60s coffeehouse authors series Friday’s Child, their Aging in Place programs, an Oral History group, Movie Nights at the Carlton, bookbinding, Artists on Display, and a bookselling business, BookDrop that resells donated items to support readers and local reading programs.
