Job description

Description
Overview
The New York Public Library (NYPL) has been an essential provider of free books, information, ideas, and education for all New Yorkers for more than 100 years. NYPL’s neighborhood libraries in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island—many of which date to Andrew Carnegie’s visionary philanthropy at the turn of the 20th century—are being transformed into true centers of educational innovation and service, and vital community hubs that provide far more than just free books and materials. 
The Young Adult Services (YAS) Department has developed a vision for teen services called “Teens 360”. The goal is to surround teens with the spaces, resources, programming, relationships, and opportunities they need to not just succeed, but to thrive. 

The Library is seeking Young Adult Librarians/Specialist II’s who will focus on bringing new middle and high school audiences into NYPL’s branches, and on engaging youth in programming that centers teen interests and teen voice. They will empower teens to become creative thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and resourceful users of information. Successful candidates will embody each of these four characteristics themselves. 
Librarians/Specialist II start at $55,027 per year and are eligible in 12 months for an increased salary of $60,574 based on successful job performance.

  • Conducts outreach to and develops partnerships with community-based organizations, schools, and community groups that target teens to promote the library’s services (e.g., MyLibraryNYC, the Library’s partnership with NYC schools), collections, specialized programs and resources to enhance the reading skills of children and teens
  • Encourages digital literacy and provides age-appropriate technology instruction to children and teens
  • Develops and maintains content for social media platforms such as Library blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest 
  • Develops and maintains the layout and appearance of the teen’s space ensuring a safe and inviting area filled with relevant resources
