Do you find yourself wishing that someone would have been there to teach you all that you now know?

Would you like to walk alongside a new librarian as they enter the profession?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Mentoring Program is for you! The Mentoring Committee of NMRT is sponsoring this project to help newcomers to librarianship navigate their way in the profession.
