“Events like this Career Fair embody the library’s commitment to empowering individuals and strengthening the community,” said Debra Rhodes Gibson, library director. “By connecting job seekers with employers, we continue our mission to connect residents with the resources they need for success.”

The public library system first hosted the Career Fair in 2025, and it featured more than 20 businesses. Participating organizations will have the chance to showcase their company culture, recruitment opportunities and career paths to attendees eager to begin or advance their careers.

“When businesses participate in a career fair, they’re helping to build the workforce our community needs while finding talent to support their own success,” said Christine Valliere, director of economic development and intergovernmental affairs. “We appreciate employers taking the time to share their opportunities and help people see where their skills and experience could lead. That involvement makes a difference for both our local businesses and the people they employ.”
