Become a LES Mentor or Mentee

LES offers mentoring for new and potential humanities librarians. A mentor can guide you through challenges at work, point you to networking opportunities, and even help you navigate the often-overwhelming conference experience. The precise nature of the mentor-mentee relationship varies with the participants, and communication may take place over e-mail, social media, telephone, in person, etc.
