North Vancouver, Canada North Vancouver City Library Full time

North Vancouver City Library is seeking an enthusiastic, service-oriented Project Librarian to join our team on a temporary full-time basis from January 3 to April 30, 2024 (35 hours per week).

This position works with a diverse team of colleagues to develop innovative and responsive library services and programs for community members of all ages and backgrounds.

The Project Librarian will be responsible to carry out two projects for which preliminary work and scoping has been completed, with other work assigned as needed:

- Project 1: Develop and pilot a digital literacy credentialing program to guide individuals in developing essential technology skills. This includes designing curriculum, coordinating with post-secondary partners, and delivering and evaluating instruction.
- Project 2: Plan and implement sensory-friendly service at the library - a designated time where neurodiverse individuals, their families and caregivers can visit the library in a calm, relaxed atmosphere. This includes engaging with partners and community members, considering staff training and facility needs, and program planning.

In addition, you will participate in the provision of general library service, including delivering reference, reader’s advisory and technology support for people of all ages and backgrounds at all library service points.

We are looking for a well-organized and detail-oriented individual with outstanding planning skills, a balanced understanding of current trends in library programming and services, the ability to manage projects and carry out outcome
- and evidence-based evaluations, and superior communication skills. Comfort and skill with current and emerging technologies and experience with services to children, teens, newcomers, and individuals who identify as neurodiverse are desirable.

If you are a life-long learner who is inspired by service to community; if you work well independently and as part of a team; and if you are an effective communicator and take pride in delivering excellent service - we are looking for you

Please see the attached Job Classification Specification for further details.

**Qualifications**:
You will have a Master’s degree in librarianship from an accredited school, plus sound related professional and customer service experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Experience with project management would be considered an asset.
