Select Board approves library job description and adds two part‑time library assistant positions
Summary
Library director described a reclassification and a staffing change that splits a vacated 16‑hour librarian role into two part‑time 12‑hour library assistant positions (net +24 desk hours); the board approved the amended job description and the classification plan change.
The library director presented an amended library assistant job description and proposed classification changes after a recent part‑time librarian resignation. She told the board she would "take that 16 hour librarian position and break it up into 2 12 hour, library assistants," yielding 24 hours of desk coverage at no budgetary cost, and said the change is intended to speed processing of materials, expand programming support and home‑delivery for homebound patrons.
The board discussed union and trustees' approvals; the director said the trustees voted on the job description and the board chair had approved it, and that the classification change would move forward without additional union action at this time. Select Members recommended taking the job‑description amendment first, followed by any budgetary steps.
A motion to approve the amended library assistant job description and to amend the classification plan to add two part‑time library assistant positions (totaling 24 hours) and remove the local history librarian position was moved, seconded and approved by the Select Board.
