    Are you a LIS student, recent LIS graduate, or early career librarian? Join us for a panel discussion with current and past resident librarians to explore if a residency might be the next step in your career. We will speak with Ramón Garcia, Jamia Williams, and Elizabeth Sunny Blake to learn about their experiences and opportunities associated with residency. Moderated by Cara Calabrese, this free event will illuminate resident librarianship and provide you the opportunity to ask questions. Event registration is required and the zoom link will be available as we near the event. Contact Sharon Han (shrnhan@gmail.com) with any questions or concerns.
