Nature of Work
The fundamental reason this classification exists is to manage a system-wide library function such as media services, youth services, and reference services. The work responsibilities of this classification may include: serving patrons and the public using library materials and computers; serving as a system-wide expert in areas such as reference, media, and youth services using library materials and computers; managing a collection using library materials, computer, and order forms; supervising two or more employees using schedules, leave slips, evaluation forms, and job descriptions; creating and implementing programs and events for the library system including book clubs, adult and teen programs, children’s story hour, etc.; completing special projects and assignments as directed by the management staff; and performing a variety of miscellaneous duties related to library management and administration. The Librarian III classification differs from the Librarian II classification in that the IIIs function as a branch or department manager. The department head differs from the branch head in that department heads are versed in a specialty area and branch heads provide more generalized services. The Librarian III classification is typically supervised by a Librarian IV or the Assistant Library Director.
