MN Job Posting - Library Technician, Duluth Public Library

The Duluth Public Library is looking for forward thinking, customer service oriented people to help us expand open hours at our three library locations. Last month the voters of Duluth overwhelmingly supported a referendum that secures dedicated funding for Parks & Recreation and frees up additional general funds for the library. As a result, we are reopening mornings at the Main Library and restoring five-day-per-week service at the neighborhood branches.

The library anticipates hiring four Library Technicians and three Librarian I’s. Last year’s strategic planning process identified our top service priorities as helping the community connect to digital resources, and building a strong foundation in literacy for children birth through third grade. Candidates who have solid skills in the areas of technology and service to children and families are especially encouraged to apply.

The library serves a city population of over 86,000. The Main Library is located in Duluth’s picturesque downtown on the shores of Lake Superior. Two branches, one located in a busy shopping center and another in a multi-use facility that includes a senior center, provide service to neighborhoods. The library employs 45 FTE and has an annual budget of approximately $4 million.

Information and applications can be found online at: http://www.duluthmn.gov/employment/jobs/index.cfm. Please note that the deadline for applications is December 22.

HCL Preservation Department Volunteer Opportunity

One of our LIT program graduates is volunteering at the Preservation Department in the downtown Central Library and tells me there are volunteer opportunities to work on various projects under the direction of Frank Hurley, the head of Preservation.

She writes:
"I have been volunteering there since June, and I really like it. There is a wide variety of tasks, from bookbinding to replacing plastic covers on books. Some of the projects we're focusing on right now are organizing certain periodicals to be sent to a bindery (I worked on issues of Glamour yesterday from 1965-1980 - fascinating stuff), and putting together new folders of sheet music (as a preservation method, a lot of pieces of sheet music in the library collection that were damaged were sent to the U of M for preservation photocopies to be made. Now that we have the photocopies, we have to fold them and put them in new folders, then attach new labels. We end up recycling the original pieces of sheet music, so if anyone is particularly interested in music, they could definitely take some sheet music home). Other projects include gluing loose pages of books back in, replacing the endsheets of books, binding books through handsewing and other methods, and something I'm working on is encapsulating very old sheet music (from the 1860s to the early 1900s), i.e. making plastic cases for pieces of sheet music to better protect the music. There are a lot of really interesting old artifacts that come through the Preservation department.
