Collection Management: Curate, catalog, and maintain a diverse collection of books and digital resources that align with the school’s mission and curriculum.
Literacy Advocacy: Organize school-wide literacy events, such as Book Fairs (e.g., Scholastic), "Read Across America" week, or local author visits.
Information Literacy: Guide middle school students in navigating digital databases, citing sources, and practicing responsible digital citizenship.
Library Environment: Maintain an inviting, organized, and inclusive space that encourages students to explore new genres and topics.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s degree required; coursework in Library Science, Education, or English preferred.
Experience: Previous experience working with children in a school or library setting is highly valued.
Skills: * Strong communication skills with both children and faculty.
- Familiarity with library management software (e.g., Follett Destiny, Alexandria) or a willingness to learn.
- Ability to work independently and manage a budget for new acquisitions.
Compliance: Ability to pass all state-required background checks for working with minors.

Why This Role is Unique

In a PreK-8th environment, you have the unique opportunity to watch a student grow from their very first library card to their final 8th-grade research project. You aren't just checking out books; you are building a culture of curiosity.
