YAACS Life After Graduation Panel!

Have a question about what it is like to work as a children’s librarian or teen services librarian?  Want to get the information from a SLAIS graduate who is working in the field?  Want to have a fun evening with snacks where you can do all this?

Then come to the YAACS Life After Graduation Panel on Wednesday March 27th, 2013 at 6:00pm in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre in Room 156.

We will have 5 youth services librarians there to answer any questions you may have about what it is like to work in the youth services field in libraries.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Elizabeth Bell at esbell666@verizon.net.

We hope to see you there!
