PLAIN CITY, OHIO
LIBRARY ASSISTANT
PART TIME, $12.90/HR

The Plain City Public Library is looking for a creative, curious, friendly, energetic and customer-oriented individual to join our team in serving as part-time Library Assistant.
Our mission is to provide resources to enhance the quality and enjoyment of life; to do so the Plain City Public Library believes in:
*            Being excellent communicators; thriving in a flexible environment that values health, family and respect for one another
*            Ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for personalized attention without discrimination
*            Maintaining an accessible facility that fosters curiosity and discovery for all people, through traditional services, education and emerging technologies
*            Building community partnerships through dynamic outreach and wide-ranging programs
*            Being mindful of the cultural heritage of our communities and how it shapes us while we seek out new trends and embrace opportunities for the future

The Library Assistant is an essential part of the library's programming team as they assist in the preparations, and sometimes the execution, of many programs and services for patrons of all ages. Using a variety of tools and apps, the Library Assistant's day is rarely ever the same. Under the guidance of a team librarian, the Assistant may be tasked to create signage, recommend great reads (and listens), answer questions, visit local classrooms, creatively solve problems, fill-in with a storytime, contribute content for media, print a 3D project, or generally help to keep everything and everyone organized. Some days are quietly dressed up with a PC and other days are a loud dusty mess; and every day is go, go, go!

The desired candidate will have some experience working with youth, know their way around organizational apps, knows desktop publishing with sign creation and must have a valid Ohio driver's license to travel with the library's outreach vehicle. Since many library programs happen on evenings and weekends, the Library Assistant must work a Friday/Saturday rotation and regular evenings every week as they may be responsible for opening or closing the library. The ideal candidate will be able to work Monday & Wednesday mornings, Tuesday & Thursday evenings and Friday mornings except when scheduled for at least one full Saturday every month.

Candidates with public library experience are highly preferred, along with a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and/or education credits in library science from an accredited institution. A high school diploma or equivalent is an absolute must. The successful candidate will earn $12.90 an hour and need to pass a criminal background check and other screenings as required for employment. The Library Assistant would expect to work an average of 32 hours per week, serve as a substitute for coworkers when needed and attend special community functions and library events. This part time position is not eligible for healthcare benefits but will enjoy paid time off opportunities for designated holidays, vacation time and sick days.
