CDCR Librarian Job Opportunities AVAILABLE NOW

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) STILL has more than ten (10) current openings for both Librarians and Senior Librarians throughout the state! 

We REALLY want you!

Our pay range for librarian is $4,004.00-$5,528.00 per month. CDCR librarians are eligible for great state benefits, including enhanced retirement and paid holidays, as well as medical, dental, and vision coverage. CDCR offers HMO and PPO programs including Kaiser and many other providers.

CDCR also offers a Defined Benefit retirement plan which means CDCR librarians get State Safety Retirement of 2.5% @55.  What this means is that you can retire at age 55 and receive a percentage of your highest monthly salary for the rest of your life. That percentage is based on the formula of 2.5% times the number of years you have worked for CDCR. As an example with 27.5 years CDCR service you can retire at age 55 at $4050.00/month (This is an estimate only based on the CalPERS benefit calculator and any individual retirement is based on the plan in effect at retirement.) In other words, to get what you hypothetically would get after 27.5 years’ service as a prison librarian under the current CDCR retirement plan; means you would have to do so well in other employment that you were able to save $1,600,000.00; and find a bank willing to pay you 3% per year to get the same amount.

Call us, we will walk you through our application process, and answer any additional questions, so please contact Brandy Buenafe, Principal Librarian, CDCR, at brandy.buenafe@cdcr.ca.gov or (916) 322-2803 or David Ramirez, Supervisor of Correctional Education Programs at (916) -324-8783 or david.ramirez2@cdcr.ca.gov.
