Attention Children’s Librarians! Have you considered entering management,
yet did not wish to sacrifice your role as a children’s librarian? If so,
then you have found your dream job at the Deschutes Public Library!
As the Sisters Branch Manager you have unique opportunities to enrich the lives
of the staff and customers at both a local and a district-wide level. You will be
serving a wide range of age groups, from babies to senior citizens, in the small
and supportive community of Sisters. You will lead the professional development
of your team, empowering them to grow and develop. Creativity, leadership, and collaboration
are key talents of your influential role.
As the Branch Manager, you will manage, coach and assess a team of 3.75 FTE who
provide a range of services to the Sisters community. You are also responsible for
creating, encouraging, and sustaining excellent internal and external customer service,
seeking and maintaining community partnerships (including the Friends of the Library),
participating in a district-wide team to provide services for adults, budgeting,
and interpreting policies and procedures.
As the Children’s Librarian, you are responsible for providing early literacy
based story times and programming for all ages from 0-11 years, collaboration on
and promotion of the summer reading program and other district-wide programs, outreach,
and reader’s advisory for all ages. You are an integral member of a collaborative,
award-winning, district-wide management team, whose shared goal is the success of
the Deschutes Public Library, enriching the lives of our staff and customers, and
achieving Board results.
The city of Sisters is a modern western community that has a diversified entrepreneurial
economy that includes art and culture, light industry, natural resource-based businesses,
and small retail. The Sisters Public Library is one of six libraries in the Deschutes
Public Library system. It is located in the northwest part of Central Oregon at
the base of the Three Sisters Mountains. The Library serves preschools, public and
private schools, and day care centers. The Sisters Library has a very active Friends
group and a strong volunteer program. The Sisters Community views the library as
an essential resource and community gathering place.
Central Oregon is a beautiful area with nearby mountains and lakes that offers year-round
fun and a wide range of activities. Our diverse communities showcase celebrations
and activities that include outdoor events, music, art, and theater. This area is
a mecca for individual and group outdoor activities.
