Librarians I and II, City of Hileah Library Division (Florida)
*-----
The City of Hialeah Library Division is accepting applications for the
positions of Librarian I and Librarian II. At this time, we have four
Librarian I openings. In January, we will have two openings for
Librarian II as the result of retirements (both after 25 years of
service). There is, therefore, tremendous opportunity for career
growth as jobs are initially posted internally. We will, however,
consider an extraordinary candidate as a Librarian II applicant now.
We are looking for creative, energetic, qualified applicants with
experience in public library services, children's services, cataloging
and technical services, or network administration.
Hialeah, Florida is centrally located in the greater Miami area and has
a population of over 200,000. In Hialeah, 90% of the population is
Spanish-speaking or bilingual. The Miami area has a dynamic economy,
wonderful beaches, a tropical climate, international cuisine, and a
variety of cultural activities.
The JFK Library is the main public library for the City of Hialeah. The
City also maintains one branch, the Lua A. Curtiss Branch Library.
Remodeling and automation of our library was completed just over a year
ago. The library has over 86,500 books (over 8000 in the Spanish
Collection), 700 videos, 300 audio books, and 10,000 music CD's. In
the past 4 years, our library book budget has increased exponentially,
from $35K to $170K. The library is very heavily used by the community,
especially for educational information needs. It is not uncommon to
have over 800 patrons a day in the library.
Our library computer system; consisting of Galaxy Library Automation
Software, over 12 networked CD ROM products, Microsoft Office Suite,
and (soon to be) Internet access; runs on a state of the art Windows
NT 4.0 LAN.
Salary range for Librarian I is $25,272-$43,008. Salary range for
Librarian II is $25,272-$49,255. Starting salary will be based on
qualifications and experience. All positions are full-time civil
service positions with extensive benefit packages. The City of Hialeah
has regularly scheduled salary increases. Requirements: All
applicants must be a US citizen or a legal resident alien. All
applicants must have a Master of Library Science from an ALA accredited
school of librarianship. Preferred: Spanish language skills, public
library experience, reference experience, computer competence.
If you have any questions or should know of an individual that might be
interested in one of these challenging positions I could be contacted
in writing at the John F. Kennedy Library, 190 West 49th Street,
Hialeah, FL 33012-3712, by phone at (305) 818-9140, or at
