Are you a self-starter who enjoys helping people? Do you have experience providing research services and planning programs in a public library that embraces change? If so, you might be just the person for us, and we might be the right place for you. We seek friendly, confident, energetic, and highly motivated individuals with superb customer service skills and excellent technical and interpersonal skills to join our SMRLD team.
This position involves participation with community groups, partnerships, organizations, boards, and committees. Primary responsibilities include working at the research (reference) desk, providing reference and readers' advisory services, participating in programs and services, managing some collection development, and making recommendations to support our goals and community role. Our team comprises thirty-four staff members, including seven professional librarians.
We offer competitive pay, IMRF pension, 4 weeks of paid vacation, 120 hours of sick leave annually, 15 paid holidays, and health insurance.
We are a progressive library that embraces new ideas and services. Located just six miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, we enjoy the amenities of a large city—professional sports, symphony, theater, zoo, botanical gardens, museums, restaurants, travel access, universities—while maintaining a small-town atmosphere.
Qualifications include a Master of Library Science degree from an ALA-accredited university and experience in a public library setting, including program planning and providing patron-focused information services, or equivalent. Preference will be given to applicants fluent in more than one language.
