Mentoring

Mentoring is about developing a relationship dedicated to building and sustaining professional and personal effectiveness and career advancement.

Having a mentor can help you:

• Learn from the experiences of other librarians

• Develop relationships with librarians and KASL members

• Grow your Professional Learning Network

Expectations for mentors and mentees:
