School will be out before we know it, and many teenagers will soon be looking for summer jobs. The Fayette County Public Library is hosting a Teen Job Fair on Saturday, April 5, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. Offered with the support of the Friends of the Fayette County Public Library, the job fair is open to everyone between the ages of 15 and 18, and admission is free.

According to public services librarian Christy Dyson, the teen activities coordinator at Fayette County Public Library, the Teen Job Fair provides an opportunity for job-hunting teenagers and area employers to meet in a relaxed and non-threatening atmosphere. The library meeting room will be filled with tables representing the employers, featuring information on each business and a person ready to answer questions. Every participating employer will have job application forms ready to fill out, and will be prepared to conduct interviews with job seekers on the spot. Adding an element of fun to the event, many businesses will be providing free samples and other giveaways at their tables.

Local businesses in attendance at the Teen Job Fair will include Stevi B’s Pizza, McDonalds, Chick-fil-A, Chuck E. Cheese, DixieLand Fun Park, Old Navy, Cinemark Movies 10, and others. Job seekers aged 15-18 are encouraged to dress neatly, put on their best attitudes, and show up at the library on April 5 between 2:00 and 4:00 to get a head start on their summer employment plans.

The Fayette County Public Library is located behind the Fayette County administration complex in downtown Fayetteville, at the southwest corner of Highways #85 and #54.
