St Paul Public Libraries is Hiring
St Paul Public Library is Hiring! You can apply for the Community Library Manager II position which has openings at the Arlington Hills and Rice Street libraries. Click below to apply! It is also exciting that SPPL has expanded the list of accepted eligibility requirements for this position to include experience other than a master's degree in library science. People with backgrounds in youth work, education, nonprofit leadership, “third space” development and management, community organizing, librarianship, and more will make great candidates for these roles.
The new requirements for this role continue SPPL’s commitment and strategic goal to increase career pathways within the Library. As the roles libraries play in our communities have continued to evolve, so have the roles of library staff. This expansion of eligibility requirements will help the City attract a broad range of candidates committed to equity in public service, collaborations with community members and organizations, and continue to help ensure our libraries welcome all people to connect, learn, discover, and grow.
