Preferred Schedule
Approximately 25–30 hours per week, primarily afternoon/evening shifts. The ideal schedule is Monday–Friday (or Tuesday–Saturday) from about 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. but start/end times and days may be flexible depending on operational needs and scheduled library activities.

The Library Maintenance Worker plays an important role in creating a clean, safe, welcoming, and well-maintained environment for library visitors and staff.

The position requires a hands-on approach, attention to detail, and the ability to recognize and address maintenance needs efficiently.

The Maintenance Worker performs assigned duties with limited immediate supervision and is expected to manage daily responsibilities independently, prioritize tasks, and coordinate work around library programs, staff activities, and public use of the facility.
