Librarian II � Reference/Programming

Town of Brookline•Brookline, WA

9h•$34•Onsite

About The Position

The Public Library of Brookline is hiring an Adult Services Reference Librarian who will be a driving creative force behind our adult programming initiative. This isn't a "maintain what we've got" role – it's an opportunity to dream up, build, and deliver experiences that genuinely change how residents connect with their library and with each other. You'll plan and lead a wide range of programs – hands-on workshops, creative classes, community events, and outreach – while also doing the full, rich work of a reference librarian: collection development, readers advisory, research support, and technology assistance. You'll be a familiar, trusted face to the patrons who count on us, and a bold experimenter who's always asking what else is possible? Critically, this role is about forging partnerships, reaching new audiences, and finding fresh ways to bring meaningful experiences to adults of all ages.
