30 years ago, Deborah Schwarz traded librarianship for entrepreneurship when she founded LAC Group. Deb is now moving into a new role as Chief Strategy Officer and handing over leadership to Robert Corrao, former COO of the company and new CEO. We look forward to the next phase of the company’s journey under their direction!

Guest columnist and LIS career adviser Kim Dority discusses side gigs for librarians, sharing ideas, why you should consider it and resources to get started. And while being an Uber driver or AirBnB host could be of interest to you, we promise neither are on the list of options.
You’re not interested in a side-gig per se, but freedom to pursue bigger dreams and aspirations—like writing a novel? LAC Federal employee Rachel Mauro, currently working on a metadata contract project at the Library of Congress, may inspire you. Her short story “Quarter Life” was selected for publication in Volume V of annual anthology District Lines.
