Montgomery City County Personnel

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to supervise and manage a library branch with a staff of employees.  Due to the small number of employees typically assigned to a branch, branch heads may perform tasks typically assigned to their subordinate(s); however, they are ultimately responsible for the management of the branch. The work responsibilities of this classification include: supervising two or more employees; managing library branch; completing special projects and assignments; serving patrons and the public; performing circulation duties; creating and implementing programs and events; managing a collection; and performing a variety of miscellaneous duties related to library management and administration.  The Librarian III classification differs from the Librarian II classification in that the IIIs function as a branch or department manager. The department head differs from the branch head in that department heads are versed in a specialty area and branch heads provide more generalized services. The Librarian III classification is typically supervised by the Assistant Director for City-County Libraries.

Master's degree in librarianship from a program accredited by the American Library Association and two (2) years of professional level library experience in a public library and six (6) months of experience leading other employees.

NOTE: Qualifying education, training and experience that provide the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job will be considered.
