Nature of Work

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to support the efforts of local libraries primarily in the areas of children’s materials and assistant management of branches. Primary work responsibilities may include: performing circulation duties; creating and implementing programs and events; serving patrons and the public; performing collection maintenance, assisting in the management of a facility; and performing a variety of library-related duties. The Librarian I classification indirectly supervises employees and may serve as supervisors in the absence of a supervisory librarian; however, they do not have final supervisory authority. The Librarian I classification differs from the Library Assistant classification series in that Librarian I incumbents are more involved in the management of an assigned facility. The Librarian I classification differs from the Librarian II classification in that the Librarian II incumbents serve as technical experts in a specific library discipline. The Librarian I classification is typically supervised by a Librarian II, III, or IV.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, English, Computer Science, Library Science, or a closely related degree and one year of experience performing technical library work such as circulation and collection maintenance. A Master's degree from an accredited program in librarianship or school library media may be substituted for the required experience.

NOTE : Qualifying education, training, and experience that provide the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job will be considered.
