Youth Services Reference Clerk
Lake Villa District Library is seeking an enthusiastic, tech-savvy and customer service-oriented person to join our Youth Services team! It’s an exciting time at LVDL, as we look forward to moving into a new facility in late spring 2019.

Duties include direct customer service support to the public, including reference and reader’s advisory; handling program registrations; troubleshooting minor computer and equipment problems for patrons; providing important organizational support for Youth programs; creating booklists and planning displays; and more.
Our ideal candidate will be detail-oriented and self-motivated, as well as comfortable using technology (particularly Microsoft Office products) and office equipment. Relevant library experience working with youth and an interest in children’s literature are strongly preferred.
