📚 PURPOSE. SERVICE. OPPORTUNITY. 💙💚

The Jackson-George Regional Library System is grateful to partner with Gulf Coast Community College – Jackson County Campus through the Work-Study Program! 🎓📖

We’re especially excited to be on campus today for the MGCCC Work-Study Job Fair, meeting students who are ready to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Why work at the library? Because it’s more than a job—it’s an opportunity to find purpose in serving your community. Work-study students can gain valuable experience in customer service, communication, technology, programming, teamwork, and so much more while helping connect people with information and resources.

🌟 Grow your skills. Serve your community. Make an impact.

Interested in joining our team? Stop by the Jackson-George Regional Library System table and learn about work-study opportunities available throughout our library system!

A special thank you to Gulf Coast Community College for welcoming JGRLS and creating opportunities that connect students with meaningful work experiences.
