Mesa Public Library (Arizona, USA) has a Librarian III opportunity.
Description/Duties
This recruitment will be used to fill a vacancy at the Main Library Branch; however, this recruitment may also be used to establish an eligibility list to fill the Gateway Library Branch Librarian III position and possible future vacancies in other library branch locations. The current vacancy at the Main Library coordinates the following program areas for the branch: Youth Services, Reference (Adult) Services, and THINKSpot. The current vacancy is also a branch level leadership role as part of the Main Library Leadership Team and engages in system-wide collaboration with the Librarian III colleagues at the other branch locations.
A Librarian III is responsible for planning, organizing, and coordinating the activities of a specialized functional program area and/or system-wide program area of the library. Program areas may include: Automation/Technology and Training, Collection Development Coordination, Youth Services, Reference Services, THINKspot (Collaborative Workspace), and special projects and initiatives. Duties may include: planning and coordinating program objectives; preparing written documentation and technical reports; and assisting with preparing and monitoring of a program budget.

This class is distinguished from the Librarian II class by a greater degree of autonomy in handling day-to-day decisions of a functional program, the more diverse and complex nature of assignments, and the greater independence under which the work is performed. Supervision may be received from a Branch Coordinator or Administrative Supervisor, depending on assignment, who reviews work through conferences, meetings, reports, and results achieved. Night and weekend work is required. This class is FLSA exempt-professional.
