Are you an outgoing person who loves the library and interacting with people? Are you looking for part-time work with some flexibility? Then consider joining us at the Bangor Public Library as one of our Greeters.
As a library greeter, you’ll enhance the customer service offered to library patrons by making visitors feel welcome. You will give directions and provide information about library services and programs. At the same time, you will work with library staff to maintain a safe and inviting atmosphere for all patrons.

Alternating shifts on Saturdays will be required during the term of employment. (Note that the library is not open on Saturdays during the summer.)The hours worked by the greeters are 9am to 7pm, Monday through Thursday, 9am to 5pm on Fridays, and 9am to 5pm Saturdays.
