Continuing Education & Job Searching Resources @ the Library!

Are you out of work, looking to further your career or just want to continue your education? Check out the abundant job searching and educational resources available at the library. Pearl River Public Library offers two extensive databases to help patrons achieve their career and education aspirations; Learning Express Library and Job & Career Accelerator.

Learning Express Library covers a wide gamut by offering homework help, test preparation and information for job seekers. Patrons of all ages can benefit from resources that include:  K-12 skill improvement, GED and College Test Prep, College Student skill improvement, Computer Software Tutorials, Occupation Practice Tests and U.S. Citizenship Preparation all online with Recursos para Hispanohablantes.

Job & Career Accelerator is a great database for the patron that wants to further an already-existing career or for the person that is looking to embark in a new direction. Job & Career Accelerator offers Job Searching, Resume and Cover Letter Writing, Computer Program Learning, Job Application Resources and Career Exploration. In addition the library provides a robust online resource called the Careers & Job Hunting Page for local and regional job searching with career and company information included.

All of these resources are available either online, at home (with a valid Pearl River Public Library card) or here at the library. If a patron does not have a computer or internet access, computer stations are on hand in the building, strictly designated for the use of Resume Writing, Job Hunting and Homework Help and no library card is necessary to access these machines or databases.

Don’t have a library card? Stop by! All you need is a valid ID and proof of address. If you are not from the Pearl River area many of the surrounding public libraries offer information and resources to help community members continue their education, further their career or just get back to work!
