Are you passionate about connecting young people with books, creativity, and community? The Avalon Free Public Library is seeking a part-time, year-round Youth Services Librarian to lead and grow our programs and services for children and teens.
In this role, you'll be responsible for designing and delivering engaging events for ages 0–17—including storytimes, craft workshops, after-school activities, and teen programs. You'll help create a welcoming, vibrant space in our youth areas, assist young readers and their families with book recommendations, and build strong connections with local schools through outreach and collaboration.
You’ll also support the promotion of youth services — helping to distribute marketing and social media content, and coordinating registration and participation in programs like our Summer Reading Challenge. Saturday hours and some evening hours are required based on programming needs. See the job description linked below for full details and requirements. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your creativity, energy, and love of learning to a community-focused library team.
What We’re Looking For:
• Experience working with youth in a professional setting (e.g., education, libraries, community programs)
• Excellent communication, organization, and customer service skills
• Comfort with technology, including Microsoft Office and general A/V equipment
• MLS/MLIS from an ALA accredited program (completed or in progress) preferred—or a teaching certification with relevant experience in youth programming
