Job description

The Town of Prosper is hiring a full-time Librarian to join our growing team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their professional career who’s interested in developing their leadership skills without stepping directly into a supervisory role.

You’ll play a key part in bridging the gap between our long-range strategy and the day-to-day work that keeps the library running smoothly. In addition to providing excellent front-line service, you’ll work closely with the Library Director, Youth Services Librarian, Technology Coordinator, and a proposed Circulation Supervisor to help shape library operations during an exciting period of growth.

This position is ideal for someone who’s thinking long-term—whether toward a future role as a branch manager, assistant director, or director—but wants to build experience and confidence first.

Full job description and application instructions are available on the Town of Prosper’s website. Position open until at least June 16, 2025.

Master’s degree in Library Science from an ALA-accredited program required.

Minimum of one (1) year of relevant experience in a public library or related setting.

An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.
