I found a job posting for Librarian I Teen Librarian
at Beaufort County Public Library. For as long as I can remember I have always
wanted to be Teen/Young Adult/Adult Reference Librarian. This position, at this
particular library, works under the Branch Manager and Youth Services
Coordinator. The duties of this position are to provide general reference
guidance using both traditional print and online resources. Readers’ Advisory
and teen programming are duties as well. Outreach and creation and distribution
of publicity is another task. This job requires an ALA accredited MLS, previous
teen experience, customer service skills, a valid driver’s license and a
flexible schedule.
I feel like
the only qualification I am currently missing (though they could all be
approved upon) is the MLS degree. This would be my dream job, a fulfillment of
many years of hard work for me. My current position allows me to interact with
many different ages and backgrounds and helps me to hone my customer service
skills. I also have the opportunity to assist with book discussions at the
local juvenile detention center. Another strong quality of mine is readers’
advisory. I currently read a lot of young adult fiction. I do need to work on
branching out into genres I may not naturally pick up on my own.
