About The Position

Looking for a meaningful summer leadership role? The Allen County Public Library is hiring Team Read Supervisors to lead and support teen employees who bring reading, books, and positive energy to elementary-age kids across Allen County. As a Team Read Supervisor, you'll mentor teens, keep daily operations running smoothly, and help create safe, engaging reading experiences at community sites. If you enjoy working with youth, thrive in active environments, and know how to lead with patience and positivity, this could be the perfect summer job. Team Read is about more than books - it's about mentorship, literacy, and community connection. As a supervisor, you'll make a lasting impact on both young readers and the teens you lead, all while being part of a supportive and mission-driven library team. This position works Monday–Friday during daytime hours in June and July. Because Team Read is a short, time-limited program, we ask that employees plan to be available for the full duration of the program. Ready to lead, inspire, and make summer count? Apply today!
