The Dover Town Library is looking for a creative, community-minded Young Adult Librarian & Events Coordinator to join our collaborative team. This role is the primary advocate for Dover’s tweens and teens, planning events and curating a teen-targeted collection. It also serves as the creative engine behind our library-wide communications, including social media, promotional flyers, and newsletters. If you love the energy of a teen DIY craft one hour and the strategic puzzle of a marketing plan the next, you’ll fit right in.
An ideal candidate will genuinely enjoy tweens and teens in a small suburban library, have big ideas alongside the organizational skills to see them to completion, champion YA services, and thrive in a small-team environment where we all wear multiple hats and support one another’s projects.

An equivalent combination of education, training, and experience will also be considered. Current MLIS candidates are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: $32.81 - $41.31/hour in 10 steps, plus benefits. Hiring range closer to $32.81. This is a non-exempt, non-union position.
