Position Summary

We are seeking energetic, community-minded individuals to join our team as part-time Library Assistants.

Collection & Display Maintenance: Ensure physical and digital collections remain accessible and organized. Help curate attractive, seasonal library displays and promotional exhibits.
Promotion & Community Outreach: Actively advocate for library events, databases, and materials during patron interactions. Collect relevant library metrics and statistics to measure engagement.

Department-Specific Duties

Information Services: Serve adult and senior populations; assist with references and readers' advisory; utilize creative marketing applications (such as or Microsoft Publisher) to construct event advertising and manage various social media platforms.
Youth Services: Partner with the Youth Services Manager to design and lead interactive activities for children of all ages (such as story times, art sessions, reading challenges, and class visits); represent the library off-site at local schools, daycares, and local organizations; assist in evaluating and weeding the youth collection.

Education & Certification Requirements

High school diploma or equivalent (a college degree is welcome but not mandatory).
The ability to obtain and maintain a Librarian Certificate 6 (LC 6) following the guidelines.

Preferred Skills & Experience

Robust customer service experience (prior experience in a public library setting is highly preferred).
Strong communication skills in English (verbal and written); bilingual capabilities are a plus.
A natural curiosity and interest in contemporary literature, music, media, and emerging technology trends.
For Youth Services applicants: Background experience working directly with children and orchestrating youth group activities is strictly required.

Working Conditions

Positions require active mobility throughout a multi-level service ecosystem, including regular bending, reaching, and the capacity to safely push or lift library bins and utility carts weighing at least 20 pounds. Final candidates must complete a comprehensive background check (Youth Services roles require a specialized childhood-safe screening clearance).
