<strong>Library</strong> Services Director<br />
Burbank Public <strong>Library</strong> supports elementary<br />
<strong>and</strong> secondary school learners in many ways,<br />
primarily through the BConnectED partnership<br />
with the Burbank Unified School District.<br />
Through BConnectED, every BUSD student<br />
gains automatic access to the <strong>Library</strong>’s print<br />
<strong>and</strong> online collections using their student ID<br />
number. This opens a world of learning <strong>and</strong><br />
support to students, including books to promote reading skills<br />
<strong>and</strong> guide research projects, online tutoring, online test prep,<br />
computer access, <strong>and</strong> spaces to study or work on projects.<br />
Visit burbanklibrary.org/bconnected to learn more.<br />
Learning doesn’t stop at high school, of course. The <strong>Library</strong><br />
offers numerous learning resources for adults as well, including<br />
free access to LinkedIn Learning <strong>and</strong> Coursera. For many, adult<br />
learning paths are connected with job prospects, <strong>and</strong> this fall,<br />
the <strong>Library</strong> will launch a new program, Job Connect Plus, funded<br />
by the US Small Business Administration. Job Connect Plus will<br />
engage job seekers in setting goals – such as retraining,<br />
certification, interview skills, or identifying aptitudes – <strong>and</strong> set<br />
them up for success in a free structured <strong>and</strong> personalized 12-week<br />
program with peer <strong>and</strong> coaching support. Visit burbanklibrary.org/<br />
jobconnect to learn more about this new opportunity as well as<br />
other services for job seekers.<br />
Burbank Public <strong>Library</strong> is here to support our community in<br />
learning <strong>and</strong> growing, from birth through all stages of adulthood.<br />
The world is ever-changing, <strong>and</strong> discovering new skills, ideas, <strong>and</strong><br />
paths helps all of us keep up <strong>and</strong> stay engaged. Visit us at any of<br />
our three locations or online to find out what the <strong>Library</strong> has to<br />
offer for you on your own path.<br />
