In this continuing period of economic downturn and limited opportunities, it's nice to have support from one's professional colleagues. Last fall, METRO, the Metropolitan New York Library Council, formed a Career Transition Special Interest Group (SIG) which met just before Thanksgiving. Its second meeting was February 18, but thanks to the interest of the 24 participants, the next meeting will be much sooner later this spring.
I was one of the attendees at the February 18th session, which was held at METRO’s office on 57 East 11th Street from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Here's a short summary about the SIG and the program. Sure, it's one more meeting to go to and we've got so much going on in our lives now, but perhaps this group is too important for you not to consider participating.
