Burlington Library Association
Career, College & Employment Resources
In the beginning of our Reference Section you will find our College and Career Collection. We have many up-to-date materials on colleges, financial aid, career choices and resume writing. In most cases, the oldest editions of the popular guides can be borrowed; the newest editions are marked "REF" on the spine and must be used in the library.
