Job description

Do you love bringing people together, dreaming up creative programs, and making connections in your community?

Nippersink Public Library District is looking for an enthusiastic, organized, and community-minded person to join our team as our Adult Services Programming & Outreach Coordinator!

This isn’t a position where every day looks the same.

One day, you might be planning an upcoming adult program. The next, you could be connecting with a local business about a partnership, representing the Library at a community event, creating promotional materials, helping a patron discover a new Library resource, or brainstorming the next big idea with our team.

What will you do?

A little bit of everything, but your primary focus will be adult programming, outreach, and community engagement.

You’ll:

• Plan, coordinate, promote, and facilitate engaging programs for adults 18+


• Build relationships with local organizations, businesses, senior organizations, civic groups, and other community partners


• Represent the Library at community events and outreach opportunities


• Look for new ways to bring Library services outside our walls


• Develop creative partnerships and collaborative programs


• Create engaging program descriptions and promotional materials


• Help evaluate what’s working, what our community wants, and what we should try next


• Work alongside a collaborative Library team on larger events, projects, and initiatives


• Provide friendly, knowledgeable service to the people who walk through our doors

Who are we looking for?

Someone who is creative AND organized.

You should enjoy working with people, be comfortable juggling multiple projects and deadlines, and be willing to jump in when needed. We’re a small Library, which means collaboration, flexibility, communication, and a good sense of humor go a long way!

Library experience is preferred, but related experience counts, too. If your background is in programming, event planning, community engagement, nonprofits, education, recreation, customer service, marketing, or another related field, we still want to hear from you.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is excited about people, programs, partnerships, and the role a public library can play in its community.

Interested?

The complete job description is available upon request and will also be provided to applicants upon receipt of application materials.

Come help us create programs people want to attend, build partnerships that matter, and connect our community with everything their Library has to offer.

This is a full-time, 37.5-hour-per-week position with a starting pay of $21.00 per hour and benefits including:

• Health insurance


• Life insurance


• IMRF


• Paid vacation time
