Hello, library colleagues,
The NMRT Mentoring Committee is looking for Mentors for our Career
Mentoring program
<https://www.ala.org/nmrt/initiatives/nmrtmentguide/nmrtmentoring>!
This program leverages the experience of seasoned librarians/library
professionals and connects them with new library professionals and students
for a mentoring relationship fostering career development in librarianship.
This year the program will run from February–July 2027, capping off with
ALA’s annual conference! If you would like to share your experience and
wisdom and are interested in participating, please fill out our form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJgy1vm3oLkhSk1NxcJ3ezwlCaCnagMyOvDURqGKezMJbOyQ/viewform?usp=dialog>
to get started. The deadline for volunteering as a mentor is Friday,
October 30th, 2026.
You may find yourself asking: How do I know if I’m qualified to be a
mentor? If you have at least five years of experience in the library world
and are willing to share your time & experience with a mentee, then you’re
qualified and we encourage you to apply! Learn more here.
