Upcoming Event: Library Hiring Panel – November 4 (Tuesday)!

Hi everyone!

Exciting news! There’s an annual BCLA/CLA Hiring Panel coming up, this Tuesday (November 4) at 11:30am! It will be held in Ponderosa Annex E, room 117.

This event allows interested students to engage with current professionals on a number of topics related to the library profession – what skills are best to develop while here at SLAIS, how to best use one’s time while they’re at SLAIS, how to make the transition into the profession as smooth as possible, and more. It’s a great opportunity to engage with people who are already set in the profession!

Again – November 4 (this Tuesday), at 11:30am, at Ponderosa Annex E, Room 117.

See you there!
