Reminder: New Career Center Website


As a reminder, the East Baton Rouge Parish Library has launched a new version of its website. As part of this change, the library absorbed the Career Center and deleted our separate website. Our new website is www.ebrpl.com/departments/career-center.

Our new website contains all of the same information and links that were on the old website. Additionally, if you go to careercenterbr.com, which was our old website, it will automatically redirect you to our new site.

BUT CRUCIALLY: some of the other old links to specific sections of the website no longer work. If you try to go to careercenterbr.com/events, for example, you will get an error message. The updated link is ebrpl.com/departments/career-center/events. Please update your records accordingly. Please call us at 225-231-3733 if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
