The Manatee County Library System is currently recruiting for a Librarian II position.

 

This role supports the Information Services’ section at the Downtown Central Library, acting as Assistant Supervisor of Information Services, and will be called upon to supervise staff members and library volunteers as needed.  The Librarian II provides reference and technology support to the public while maintaining awareness of library service trends and information sources, with an emphasis on reference, business, workforce development, social services and historical preservation.  The role also assists in facilities management, scheduling, adult programming, and outreach, while acting as site coordinator for the virtual reference service Ask a Librarian.

 

Join the team of the 2016-17 Florida Library of the Year and multiple award-winning library system located in dynamic Manatee County – Florida’s first platinum-certified green environment and one of its fastest growing areas.  Our County is the spring training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and features beautiful beaches and preserves, a creatively revitalized downtown and arts district, and extensive tourism in winter and spring.

 

Located on the scenic Manatee River as part of the Bradenton Riverwalk, the Downtown Central Library is a hub of engagement in the heart of Manatee County: from musical story times, social clubs and community meetings to chef-led cooking demonstrations, the award-winning recycled fashion show, and small business events.  Built in 1978 and renovated in 2015, this destination library features meeting rooms, study rooms, Area 52 creative lab, mobile demo kitchen, large research and genealogy collections, and the Eaton Florida History Room, all overlooking striking views of the river.
