The Watertown Free Public Library is seeking substitute Teen and Adult Reference librarians.

Duties include providing reader’s advisory and reference services, troubleshooting technology problems, library projects as directed by supervisor, and understanding and enforcing library policies.

This is a temporary on call position. Substitute Librarians are called to work shifts as needed to cover sick leave, vacations, maternity leave, and weekend shifts. The most frequently needed shifts are on weekends. In most cases notice is provided well in advance. Occasionally we will ask for help on special projects.

The ideal candidate is halfway through the MLS program and has taken a reference course. If interested in the Teen position you should have experience working with Teens and be familiar with Teen literature.

This is a great opportunity for students who can’t commit to a full time job but want to get experience in a public library.
