Meet Your Career Librarian
Hi! My name is Sam Bardarik, and I'm your Chester County Library Business & Career Librarian.

I offer free, customized, one-on-one consultations in which I can connect you to resources or review your resume. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!


Free DVD and Audiobook Checkouts
Beginning in the month of August, the Chester County Library and Henrietta Hankin Branch no longer charge rental fees for certain items in our Multimedia collection.
