Are you a people person and enjoy working with the public?

The Morristown & Morris Township Library is seeking a friendly, customer service-oriented
person to join our creative and dedicated staff as a Readers’ Advisor in the Reference/Adult
Services Department. The person in this position helps patrons with researching possible fiction
books, checking out Library materials, aiding patrons using the Library’s study rooms, running
some of the Library’s book clubs, performing collection maintenance, making purchasing
recommendations, and other tasks as assigned.

Are you creative and have good ideas?

New ideas are always welcome and staff in the Library also work on projects such as displays,
fliers, Library book clubs, and other creative tasks. We like a person who can work
independently, but also work as a part of our great team here at the Library.

Have you ever wanted to work in a vibrant and historic downtown area?

Situated in the heart of historic Morristown, the Library serves the diverse and energetic
communities of Morristown and Morris Township. We are central to a vibrant downtown
brimming with cultural attractions, dining, and nightlife, which attracts many visitors and fosters
active participation from residents—both in-person and online. Reflecting this community, the
Library is deeply committed to supporting diversity through our staff, collections, and
programming.

What is the Library looking for in a candidate?

The ideal candidate will have great customer service experience, can work with computer
software, the online Library catalog and web browsers. Knowledge of the Spanish language is a
plus, but not required. Candidates will need a high school diploma but some college coursework
is desirable. The candidate will run at least one library book group. Knowledge of—and interest
in—various fiction genres is a plus. The Library can be a busy place; we are looking for someone
who enjoys being active, interacting with the public, and is up for learning new things.

What are the perks for working at the Library?

This is a part-time position 14-15 hours per week that includes some weekday evenings and
Weekends. The starting salary is $16.00/hr. with a time-and-a-half rate of pay on Sundays. The
position includes a pension (DCRP through the State benefits system), some paid holidays, and

The Library strives to honor the broadest range of identities and diverse social and historical
experiences expressed in our communities, and are an organization of information professionals
dedicated to empowering others to access, interpret, and create. We do this by intentionally
developing a vibrant collection of print and electronic resources and virtual and in-person
programming that reflects and celebrates the diversity of Morristown and Morris Township. EOE
