Marion Carnegie Library is extremely happy to offer our “Continuing Careers” program as a service to the Marion, Illinois community.
All you need is your Marion Carnegie Library card!
Continuing Careers at Marion Carnegie Library allows job seekers to access resources and services that assist in their job search. Patrons can check out and take home laptops and mobile hotspots, meet one-on-one with representatives of career-enhancement organizations, and more!
Featured Resources
With MCL’s Continuing Careers program, you can access great career-enhancement resources like these:

Borrow Laptops and Mobile Hotspots
Marion Carnegie Library Cardholders can borrow laptops and mobile hotspots for up to 7 days at a time. These items are available only to Marion Carnegie Library Cardholders. Check out the "How MCL Cards Work" page for more information!
One-on-One with Man-Tra-Con
Each month, representatives from Man-Tra-Con and the American Job Center are available at the library to offer personalized career guidance and coaching as part of MCL’s One-on-One with Man-Tra-Con program!
Registration is required. Visit the library’s Main Desk or call 618-993-5935 to secure your spot during the next event!
Marion Carnegie Tie-brary
At the MCL Tie-brary, you can borrow a necktie at no cost! Simply ask a Staff Member at the MCL Main Desk, and choose a tie that fits your style. Then return it to the library when you’re done. No library card is necessary.
This program is made possible by community donations. If you’d like to make a donation, email outreach@marioncarnegielibrary.org.
How to Tie a Tie
The program has been made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA).
