[Libs-Or] Early career librarians seeking support? Apply to participate in the OLA Mentoring Program!

[Meredith Farkas]

The OLA Mentoring Program is a pilot project designed to help early career
librarians grow professionally by being paired with seasoned librarians
willing to share their professional experience and guidance. Mentors and
mentees will be partnered based on similar interests, professional
experience, and/or goals. The mentoring relationship will develop over the
course of a year (or nine months) and contact can take place in-person or
over phone, email, or web conferencing.

If you are an early career librarian with less than five years of
professional experience, please consider applying to be paired up with a
mentor<https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_140871>.
As this is a member benefit, membership in OLA is required. For this pilot,
mentees must be in a professional position in a library or related
information setting. We have a limited number of mentors for this pilot and
will pair mentors and mentees based on the order in which mentee
applications are received and the availability of mentors to match a
mentee's specific goals. Matches between mentors and mentees will be made
on a rolling basis, so if you are not paired with a mentor in the first
round, we will pair you when a mentor who is a good match becomes available.
