Washington's American University has launched a Lawyer Re-Entry Program for attorneys looking to return to their careers after taking time off. See this link for the press release. What a great idea! We need something like this for librarians.
The announcement prompted me to do a quick search for information on career re-entry for librarians. I did find a Yahoo group for stay-at-home librarians (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/librariansahm/) and an article by Priscilla Shontz on staying professional active while staying at home (http://www.liscareer.com/shontz_activeunemployment.htm). Any other links and information to add here are welcome!
Thanks to Billie Jo Kaufmann, Associate Dean for Library and Information and Resources at AU's law school, for sending the link to LLSDC listserv.

Empowering librarians and their patrons
I'm one of those lucky people who loves being a librarian. Even with all my enthusiasm for what I do, I still struggle to balance my passion for librarianship with the other things I love, like my family and friends. In this blog, I explore the challenge of achieving that elusive work-life balance amid the joys and triumphs of being a librarian in the 21st century.
A Bit About Me
- Callinan the Librarian
- I've been a law librarian for over twenty years and still get a kick out of the people I meet and the work I get to do. At the moment, I'm a Senior Consultant with Axelroth & Associates and an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law. When I'm not working, I'm balancing the daily stuff of life, like taking care of my kids, my husband, my family, my friends, my house, my Girl Scout troop, and a few other volunteer commitments. And I try to have some fun along the way.

The Mom Song
This is my absolutely most favorite YouTube clip: The Mom Song by comedian Anita Renfroe sung to the tune of the "William Tell Overture." I laugh every time I watch it!
