POSITION

To plan, organize and manage all activities and programs for a specified division of library operations or services, to include the supervision, coordination, promotion and evaluation of division program.  The purpose of this recruitment is to fill a current vacancy in our Teen Programs within the Woodland Public Library, as well as establish an eligibility list for future vacancies. 

 

IDEAL CANDIDATE

Woodland Public Library is seeking a dynamic, outgoing, self-directed, and customer-focused librarian with a passion for working with teens to lead the Library’s Teen Services. The Ideal Candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to developing and facilitating programs and services that help teens build the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need as they prepare for college, careers, and life.

 

We value candidates who maintain a confident, upbeat, and positive attitude; possess strong communication and organizational skills; and are comfortable working with people of all ages and backgrounds.

 

Candidates should have strong organizational, problem-solving, and planning skills, along with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced public library environment. An inventive and responsive approach to service development and management is essential, as is the ability to communicate effectively—both orally and in writing—with teens and a wide range of community members. The position requires enthusiasm for collaboration, outreach, networking, and community engagement, and includes some evening and weekend hours.

 

Library Program Manager I: This is the entry level class in the professional library series. Assignments are generally limited in scope and within the design and procedural framework established by the Library Services Director. However, as experience is acquired, the employee performs with increasing independence.

 

Library Program Manager II: This is the journey level class in the professional library series. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Librarian Program Manager I, or when filled from the outside, require prior professional library work experience.  Appointment to the higher class requires that the employee be performing substantially the full range of duties for the class and meet the qualification standards for the class. Work in this class is distinguished from that of a Library Program Manager I by greater complexity of the assignments received and by greater independence with which an incumbent is expected to operate.
