The ideal candidate organizes, coordinates, and directs an assigned function or program in the library such as Acquisitions, Children’s Services, Circulation, Automation or Branch services; prepares routine and specialized reports from the library circulation, patron and collection database; troubleshoots reports for accuracy; works with library partners including other City departments, community organizations and PLAN (Peninsula Library Automated Network) as needed; assigns, supervises, and evaluates the work of subordinate staff and volunteers; and plans and  coordinates and implements library services and programs, both in the library and at local events/meetings.  Spanish language skills are desirable.
