Located in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania and part of the
Chester County Library System outside of Philadelphia, this was the first library position I had applied for and the first job that I had ever received a rejection letter! In the fall of 2004 I interviewed for the circulation assistant opening, but luckily things did work out just weeks later when I was offered positions at two other branches within the same system.
One of the prettiest branches of
CCLS, I wouldn't have minded calling this home!
That's the slogan of the Dorado Community Library, a public library about 20 miles outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico which I was able to visit earlier this month. It has actually been around for 34 years and for a community this size not bad at all, and definitely one of the better libraries in all of the Caribbean. The library has over 30,000 volumes in Spanish and English, a computer lab with internet access (non-card holders must pay a fee), a meeting room and it offers various programs for both children and adults.
