Our core values are: access, literacy, community destination, and personalized service.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">The Plymouth District Library is located in busy downtown Plymouth, MI, midway between Detroit and Ann Arbor. The library is a member of The Library Network. We serve the Plymouth Community which is comprised of 36,650 residents living in the City of Plymouth and the Charter Township of Plymouth, as well as the patrons of 75 Detroit-area libraries through a reciprocal borrowing agreement facilitated by The Library Network.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">The library serves as a significant community hub and maintains strong partnerships with local and regional community groups, governments, schools, businesses, and cultural organizations. Plymouth’s rich history has included the library for nearly 100 years. Strong community support has resulted in a dedicated perpetual millage, a robust Friends organization, and more than 100 adult volunteers. Over a 1,000 visitors a day use the library to participate in programs, use our meeting and study rooms, borrow materials, use technology, and connect with others. In addition we serve a growing and robust digital community 24/7.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">The library recently completed a $3 million building repair project which included facility upgrades to improve accessibility and energy efficiencies and maintain our twenty- year- old building for generations to come. Significant network and technology infrastructure improvements will be completed shortly and are being supported by a growing technology staff.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">The library contributes significantly to the high quality of life available in the Plymouth community. Our sense of community is created by beautiful neighborhoods, spacious parks, robust sport, cultural and arts organizations, and dedicated community service organizations. Our vibrant, walkable downtown is full of unique shops, restaurants, entertainment and recreational options, all surrounding Kellogg Park as the centerpiece and host of year-round events. The library is just steps from all of this in our central downtown location and plays an active role in community events.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">The elected Board of Trustees and the Directors of the Friends Board are all committed to meeting the needs of the community, now and into the future. Dedicated customer service ideals drive our 70 staff members at all levels. We know our customers, and work tirelessly to serve their needs, listen to their concerns and make decisions accordingly. These practices are for those who come through the front door and those whom we serve outside of the library either off site or via digital services. We are committed to help the library remain a hub of activity in our community and a leader in the library world.</div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;"></div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;"><br></div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;"><strong>POSITION SUMMARY AND DUTIES:</strong></div><div style="clear: both;" data-mce-style="clear: both;">This position is responsible for digital and virtual services and collections, including streaming and downloadable content, databases, and the library’s web site.
