Growth Agents

Become involved as a MASL mentor and be an agent for growth by offering support and expanding professional vision. A mentor can provide support through a one time message or develop an ongoing relationship. Mentoring is a reflective practice for both the mentor and mentee. Expanding connections through mentoring helps strengthen our profession and Maine libraries. 

Support

The MASL mentoring chair will help connect members as mentors and mentees. If you are interested in being involved, please contact maslibraries@gmail.com for more information. 

Certificate Hours

A reflection log can be submitted by mentor and/or mentee to the certificate chair to earn up to five certificate hours per school year.
