The Town of Lantana seeks a part-time energetic, team-oriented Youth Services Librarian with a strong public service commitment. Under the direct supervision of the Library Director, this position would provide innovative library services and programming for youth services to a quickly growing and evolving library. The Youth Services Librarian provides stellar customer service and collaborates with coworkers to create great experiences for patrons and the community. The Youth Services Librarian loves educating patrons, making a difference in the community, and keeping up with emerging technologies. The Youth Services Librarian may be in charge of the library during evening hours and assists in Library Administration. They are responsible for youth programs, such as teen game nights, graphic novel book club, and for coordinating the creation and implementation of all Youth programs with the library team. The Youth Services Librarian will be assigned shifts and duties according to the needs of the department.

This has a focus on Teen Services, with the additional responsibility of helping the other staff plan and prepare for children’s programming. We value staff with cultural competencies to work with our community in east Lantana.

We are a small municipal library that has seen exponential growth since our 2023 1.5-million-dollar renovation. We have immense support from our Council, Manager, and community, so we have the ability to make big ideas happen with very little layers of bureaucracy. The right person will get experience in not only Youth Services, but Library Administration, Outreach, Marketing, and Town Administration, if so desired. While this position is up to 29 hours, we have confidence that we will be able to convert this position to FT in the near future, if it is demonstrated as needed (it is!)

The Town of Lantana is a great employer to work for, one which values personal life and families. The Town still gives performance-based raises, in addition to COLA raises, for all employees.
