I will be graduating in May. I have been offered a job as an information center coordinator for a satellite campus of a community college. Taking the job would involve relocating my family (15,13, and 7 year old children). We relocated 3 years ago to our present location for my husband's career.

I am really excited about the position. It sounds like a the information center/library is integrated into the campus life. They are looking to grow the program especially information literacy instruction. There is some talk that they may encourage the public library to relocate onto the campus. It is a small community, the public library has no professional librarians on staff.

I am struggling with what to do. My family does not want to move. I need to consider their wants and needs. I am also excited about the opportunity to work in my desired field in a job with some exciting possibilities.

One of the things I have considered is that this is the only job I have applied for so far. Another factor is that I live in a small community that has few professional librarian openings. I currently have a job as a data manager for a charitable foundation.

I know no one can tell me what to do. I am wondering if there are others who have gone through this experience and can give me some advice, things to consider, words of wisdom.
