Activity Services Guide (2 Positions Posted)
The Activity Services Guide is primarily responsible for creating and implementing programs within
the branch, as well as outreach activities outside of the library, under the direction of Branch Managers. The Guide works closely with Library Service Leads, Branch Managers, and possibly a District program committee to effectively serve various defined demographic niches (e.g. older adults, teen gamers, or child writers) through these activities. As a secondary focus, the Guide will be asked, at times, to assist with public library functions related to the general operation of the Pines & Plains Libraries. Adaptability, respect, good humor,
self-direction, and a willingness to empower one’s self and others are also key attributes to success at P&PL.
