On February 21, 2015 we had the Graduation Game Plan event at Carnegie NL.
On this occasion, as on previous years, our library welcomed students from middle and high  schools looking for learning about their career choices. They had the opportunity to learn how to work to get a successful future.
Thank you, Erika for your great job in the organization of this event.
