This full-time librarian position is a very special opportunity to serve an underserved population of students in a brand-new state-of-the-art library in the South Bronx.
You would be serving a K-8 population of approximately 300 special
education students in a District 75 school.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
The ability to work well with a socio-economically and ethnically diverse population of students who also have physical and mental challenges. Although the ability to run a K-8 library is a given, excellent social skills, a warm heart, and a sense of humor will be the key to a successful library program. This is a rare opportunity for librarians wishing to serve the underserved.
OTHER INFORMATION:
This library was created through a 1.3 million dollar grant from the Robin Hood Foundation. It has every amenity you can think of including a FLEX schedule, and it is well endowed, receiving an additional $13,000 in grant funds for books last year.
Pictures of this magnificent library are here:

Information for libraries on H1N1 flu is now available on the New York State Library’s web site. All types of libraries — public, school, college / university and library systems may go to: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/h1n1/index.html . As libraries prepare for the upcoming flu season, it is important to consider both how the library provides information on flu to library users and communities AND protection of the library’s environment for staff and patrons. The State Library link leads to:
- Toolkits prepared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for schools, colleges / universities, child care programs.
- A public library toolkit adapted and edited from the CDC toolkit for businesses
- New York State Education Department informational links for schools
- H1N1 web resource links for all libraries
Questions: please contact Cassandra Artale, Library Development Specialist, New York State Library / Division of Library Development at 518/474-1479 or cartale@mail.nysed.gov.
