Why the public libraries? Identified in the new legislation as a desirable One-Stop partner Librarians are already providing employment and training services by stretching existing library staff and recruiting volunteers Library customers would benefit from “built-in” career services inside the libraries Credentialed workforce development professionals (paid for by WIOA funds) would bring added value to the libraries, freeing up that staff to provide other valuable services In many cases we are serving the same customers
