Library to interview from 82 applicants for assistant position; second-round practical test planned
Summary
Director reported 82 applicants for the library assistant vacancy, including seven with library experience and three with MLS degrees; first interviews are scheduled this week and in-person second-round sessions will test Dewey decimal tasks before a final selection.
The board heard that the library assistant position vacancy drew 82 applicants, a marked increase from prior searches, the director said. Of those, seven reported library experience and three had master's degrees in library science; several applicants were active-duty or veteran military members.
First-round interviews are scheduled for Thursday and Friday this week, with second-round, in-person interviews next Tuesday where candidates will perform practical tasks such as shelving a cart in Dewey Decimal order. The director said the interview committee (including staff member Michelle and Friends president Nancy Tarney) will consult other staff before making a hiring decision expected by the end of next week, subject to background checks.
The director noted Corina's last day was Oct. 31 and that Brenda will cover duties while the director is briefly out of town; the board was informed that background checks typically take two to three weeks.
