Do you love inspiring children and teens? Are you creative, energetic, and ready to make a real impact in your community? Join our team at the library in a shared position as a Youth Services Co-Coordinator!
 
This is not your typical library job. In this shared role, you'll have the chance to design imaginative programs, connect with the community, and spark a lifelong love of reading and learning. You'll work alongside another enthusiastic co-coordinator and the Library Director to ensure every program, activity, and daily responsibility is covered seamlessly.

• Creativity unleashed: Plan and lead engaging, interactive programs and activities for children and teens, as well as participate in community outreach events. Experience working with older elementary-age children and teens is a plus.
• Community impact: Plan and participate in outreach activities with local schools, organizations, and community members to strengthen the library's role as a visible and valued part of life in Sampson County.
• Hands-on library experience: Assist at the circulation desk, help patrons, shelve materials, and contribute to the smooth day-to-day operations of the library.
• Teamwork that works: Collaborate closely with your co-coordinator to balance schedules, share responsibilities, and make every program a success.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor's Degree with coursework in education, library science or another related field supplemented by experience working with children or teens OR an equivalent combination of education, training, and hands-on experience working with children and/or teens, showing you have the skills needed to thrive in this role
• Experience planning or leading programs for young people
• Creativity, energy, and a passion for inspiring children and teens
• Comfort with computers, office technology, and common software applications
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work well with diverse groups
• A collaborative mindset: the ability to work effectively with a co-coordinator to ensure all programs and responsibilities are covered
• Positive attitude, eagerness to learn, and a love for working as part of a team

The Details:

• Shared schedule averaging 19 hours per week, coordinated with the Library Director and co-coordinator. Thursdays and Fridays will be core workdays each week, with Wednesdays typically included at least two weeks per month. Remaining hours will be scheduled on other days as needed.
• Typical weekday hours end at 5:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays when those days are scheduled. Some later evening hours are required for special events, typically no later than 9:00 p.m.
