Both JRLs provide FREE computer internet access and one-on-one assistance for creating or updating résumés, setting up email and other online accounts, conducting internet searches, and applying for jobs online.

We also offer weekly workshops, bimonthly employment "boot camps," and quarterly community open houses that all help job seekers hone "soft skills" and provide networking opportunities that pave the way for job seekers in today’s employment market.

Paschalville Partnership

The JRLs are part of the Paschalville Partnership, a collaboration of 11 organizations spearheaded by the Free Library of Philadelphia. The partnership operates in the service area of the Paschalville Library and has developed a common agenda following the principles of collective impact. This program is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. To learn more about the Paschalville Partnership, read our State of the Community 2017 Report.

Check out the Free Library's job seeker resources, including a virtual guide for first-time job seekers and upcoming events, and visit The Workplace job and career information center at the Parkway Central Library, located at 1901 Vine Street, which offers workshops, electronic resources, free head shots, and much more for job seekers.
