The Indianapolis Public Library offers additional resources to support job seekers. With a Library card, individuals can access Brainfuse JobNow, which provides free professional resume reviews, job search tools, interview preparation, resume templates and more. Library cardholders also receive free access to LinkedIn Learning, featuring more than 16,000 online courses covering topics such as technology, management, leadership, marketing, multimedia, design, web development and social media.
In addition, the Library has Career Centers at multiple branch locations, including East 38th Street, Haughville, Martindale-Brightwood, Lawrence and Spades Park.
Andre Lyes, a Career Center attendee, said the Library helped him “further his life in the right direction.”
“I'm actually being helped at the Career Center,” said Lyes. “It’s not treated like something someone has to do for me, [but like] they actually enjoy what they're doing. These people are really here to help you, and that’s what they do.”
