Youth Assistant Teens

Are you ready to host a Mario Kart Tournament? Are you a Dungeon Master looking to lead epic campaigns and one-offs? If so, Falmouth Memorial Library is looking for you to join our team as a part-time Youth Services Library Assistant! While this position will mainly have a tween/teen focus, our bustling children's area needs another creative and friendly staff member who likes interacting with children of all ages and their caregivers. We are looking for someone familiar with children's literature and able to provide readers' advisory, someone who likes to organize and help keep the space looking cheerful and neat, and someone who is not afraid to jump in and help run programs.

This open position is 16 hours per week, with a rotating evening and weekend. Pay starts at $19.00/hour, depending on skills and library experience. Additional hours may be available to cover vacations and other planned staff absences. Part-time positions include pro-rated vacation and sick time benefits. Computer literacy, including working knowledge of PC operating systems, e-readers, tablets, etc., is required. The position requires moving around the library, which includes bending and stretching to shelve items, and lifting materials (up to 25 lbs.). Most of each shift will be spent working at a service desk and interacting with patrons and staff. Previous experience working with children is required. Previous customer service and/or library experience is preferred.

Please submit a cover letter and resume via email or mail only (no phone calls please), to Andrea Cleland, Head of Youth Services, at acleland@falmouthmemoriallibrary.org. Applications will be reviewed starting July 7, 2025, and will continue until position is filled.

Salary: 19.00/hr
