Opportunites at the Dormann Library

Why Work in Libraries?

Libraries are more than just buildings filled with books—they’re vibrant hubs for learning, connection, creativity, and discovery. Working in a library means being part of something bigger:
  • You help empower individuals through access to information and technology.
  • You create a welcoming space for everyone, from curious kids to lifelong learners.
  • You play a vital role in building a stronger, more informed community.
Whether you’re organizing a shelf, leading a program, or guiding someone through their first digital job application—library work is work that matters.
