However, all is not lost.
If you have a library card with us, you can log in to our Career Cruising website via our digital library. You'll find it most easily in the A-Z list.
Once you've accessed the careercruising.com database by typing in your library card number, look for the link on the left hand side of the page titled "Explore Careers."
Click this link, and search at the next page: "Animal Trainer"
