This is a rewarding opportunity to work as the sole librarian in a special collection. You will gain hands-on experience with the organization and management of a library, work with a wonderful (and growing) culinary collection of over 5,000 books plus magazines and newspapers, including rare materials, and make a positive contribution to a fascinating organization.
The successful candidate will have instructional experience; strong, positive communication and interpersonal skills; the ability and willingness to handle multiple responsibilities in a changing environment; and be conversant with various library trends, web development, and culinary trends.

  • Provide in-person and virtual reference services (locate cookbooks, recipes, cultural and historical background on various dishes, food science resources, etc.)
  • Maintain library website and catalogs
  • Preserve and manage rare book collection
  • Design and conduct trainings on technology, library resources, and research methods
  • Identify and acquire new items for the collection
  • Manage company newspaper and magazine subscriptions
  • Shelf-read and weed collection as needed

SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
  • Demonstrated knowledge of effective reference techniques
  • Knowledge of collection development
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Instructional expertise
  • Excellent computer skills, including familiarity with web design, Google Workspace, database searching, and software specific to libraries (TinyCat/LibraryThing)
  • Flexibility in schedule
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 20 pounds and to climb on step stool to reach top shelves

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
  • BA/BS or equivalent
  • Currently enrolled in a Library Science program
  • Completion of LIS 407, 415, and 488 (or relevant experience)

Salary Range:
$15/hour - $15/hour
The range provided is based on what we reasonably expect to pay for this job as of the time of posting. The actual salary offered will be determined based on multiple factors, including but not limited to the candidate's relevant experience, job-related knowledge, skills, geographical location, and other job-related factors permitted by law.
