Bookmobile Librarian, Beverly Public Library, Beverly, MA

Posted June 3, 2016

Do you want a unique job working with some of the best patrons a community offers?  Do you love reader’s advisory and developing close personal connections to your special group of customers?  Do you like the idea of bringing the joy of reading to seniors and children?

The Beverly Public library has an opening to become our next Bookmobile Librarian. Beverly has offered bookmobile service to our residents since the 1950’s and it is a vital resource to the community.  We currently serve multiple assisted living centers, the city’s Senior Center, the elementary schools and middle school, several pre-schools and also provide stops in several neighborhoods.  The Bookmobile librarian works with teachers and reading specialists to supplement classroom resources as well as nurture individual reading. She/he also works closely with many individual seniors to match their preferences with new books as well as supplying individual requests. 

We are looking for someone who can maneuver a large bookmobile around narrow city streets with ease, lug heavy book bags with a smile, and can talk about the latest John Grisham or Danielle Steel book as easily as they can discuss the Wimpy Kid and Captain Underpants.
