Promotes children's services and library visibility through engaging exhibits, thematic displays, curated reading lists, and targeted digital publicity or social media outreach.
Utilizes the library's Integrated Library System (ILS) efficiently.
Stays current with emerging trends by reading professional literature and representing the library at regional and state professional meetings.
Performs other duties of a similar nature and complexity as directed by library leadership.

Core Competencies & Skills:

Deep knowledge of children’s literature, publishing trends, and child development principles, with a strong background in early childhood or early literacy programming.
Exceptional communication and customer service skills, with a demonstrated ability to work effectively with a diverse public and foster a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Proficiency with standard computer applications, electronic databases, internet research, and social media. A solid understanding of current and emerging library technologies and modern programming trends for children.
Highly flexible and organized, with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities, welcome organizational growth, and thrive in a high-volume public service environment.
Ability to bend, reach, sit, and stand for extended periods as required to maintain the department and assist patrons.
