A bit too late...

I was so excited, there was a voicemail message from the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, in regards to my application. It's 47 miles away from where my husband currently works, but we could live in between, no problem. I called her back, left another message. She finally got a hold of me just to tell me that it was already filled. Kind of a bummer. I am happy that she called to tell me that because I hate not knowing.

On the up side of things, she is going to keep my application for future professional openings and asked that I contact her when I get into the area in case she has any part-time or sub positions available.

She also mentioned checking out Catholic University and the University of Maryland since they are the only ALA accredited library schools in the area and may offer career help or job listings. She wasn't sure if this was only offered to their students or if they had a website open to everyone. My school has a listserv that sends out job announcements. But you have to be a student or an alum. I'll check the schools out and post back later if anything pans out.

Hey Jess
I'm a Univ of MD alum (College Park 1999), I don't know if it'll help but I'd probably be able to get access to some of that stuff. Let me know if you run into the UM only snobbery and I'll look into it.
