The main Toledo-Lucas County Public Library at 325 Michigan St. downtown will participate Thursday in a national online job fair sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Milicruit.com, a virtual job recruiting site that links employers with military veterans.

The online job fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Main Library plans to reserve five of its public access computers exclusively for use by veterans.

More than 60 national employers from the private and federal sectors and more than 36,000 veterans have registered to participate in the all-day online event.

Veterans can register at http://www.veteranscareerfair.com for the event. Veterans can log in to visit employer booths, view job openings, apply for jobs, watch employer videos and presentations, chat live with recruiters, and complete on-the-spot video interviews.
