Are you interested in working for the Montrose Library? We’d love for you to apply if you have the skills.
Youth and Teen Services Collection Development Librarian
The Montrose Regional Library District is seeking a diligent and self-motivated Youth and Teen Services Collection Development Librarian to join our CORPS department (Cataloging, Ordering, Receiving, and Processing Services). We value candidates who can keep a confident and positive attitude while navigating the public library environment; possess strong communication and organizational skills; and are comfortable with people of all ages and from all backgrounds. An ideal candidate will possess Spanish-language ability (nearly a quarter of our population are native Spanish speakers).
The Youth and Teen Collection Librarian selects juvenile and young adult materials in all formats by evaluating and analyzing the collection areas, researching available material, ordering material through library sanctioned vendors. Creates weeding reports and manages inventory for youth and teen services departments.
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is required. Due to the nature of this position, we prefer a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science from an ALA-accredited university and one year of varied and robust experience in a public library, preferably in collection development. Will consider an equivalent combination of education and experience.
We offer benefits including health, dental, vision, and life insurance; retirement; and vacation, personal, and sick leave, in addition to holidays. The starting rate for this position is $41,700 annually, with an additional increase for a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science (or related field) from an ALA-accredited university; we will also provide an increase for proficiency in Spanish.
If you feel you would make a great contribution to our library, please email your resume and cover letter to Mary Paladino, Head of CORPS: mpaladino@montroselibrary.org
Deadline to apply is June 25, 2026.
