[SCLA] Civil Service Exam

[Jefferson DeJesus]

Dear Ellen and all,

Thank you for your reply.  With my experience, I was informed that I can
take either Librarian I or Librarian II exams.  What is the difference and
how to prepare for these exams? Are there specific practice books I can
use?

Best regards,

Jefferson
