06 Apr '23

Director of Youth Services - York County Libraries (PA) Where your story begins... York County Libraries<http://www.yorklibraries.org/> (PA) seeks an engaging and experienced advocate for children and young adults as its next Director of Youth Services. Working with strategic partners throughout York County, the Director of Youth Services will seek to lead and participate in community initiatives to achieve the Library's goals of supporting teens, children, and families. Located in south-central Pennsylvania, York County is situated on the northern Maryland border, covers roughly 900 square miles, and serves a population of 437,846 residents with 13 full-service public libraries and two satellite locations. YCL is a federated library system comprised of eight branch and five-member libraries with a combined operating budget of $7M. YCL directly employs 109 staff at ten of its thirteen libraries and another 35 employees at its contract sites. More than 35% of York County residents hold library cards and annually borrow 1.2 million items. The YCL Youth Services team provides early literacy programs, free play areas, digital and online resources, and year-round activities for youth throughout the county, including 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, GOAL Grade One at the Library-an annual reading campaign for first graders, Sensory Story Times, the SummerQuest summer reading program, Library Tales for Tails therapy dog reading sessions and the award-winning program, Beyond Our Walls: Read Me a Story, which provides incarcerated individuals the option to record themselves reading a story to be shared with their children. YES: Youth Empowerment Summit, YCL's annual countywide initiative focused on high school teens, highlights career planning and leadership building. Part of the Story inspires and captures compelling issues of our teen population through programs, workshops, and facilitated group sessions. YCL is currently renovating and expanding three of its library facilities, creating dedicated spaces for teens and expanding children's areas at all three locations. Quality delivery of youth services is a hallmark of the YCL mission. There is no better place to live than historic York County - nestled in the Susquehanna River Valley of South-Central Pennsylvania-York offers big-city amenities with small-town charm. While continuing to embrace its agricultural roots, the county also has evolved into a manufacturing and business hub. Major companies with roots in York County include Harley-Davidson, York Barbell, Voith Hydro, York International, Utz Quality Foods, Snyder's of Hanover, and BAE Systems. A bustling local economy has made York one of the fastest-growing counties in Pennsylvania.

York has seen the emergence of cultural events and movements, art exhibits and shops, multiple music and performance venues, industrial street art, family events, children's activities, "foodie" delights from festivals to underground restaurants, and more. York has become a place where you can have it all: a challenging and rewarding career, deep friendships, engaging social life, valuable education, family-friendly activities, and a great place to call home. The region is only a short drive away from Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Responsibilities: The Director of Youth Services (DYS) must have a vision for planning innovative, diverse, and collaborative programs and services for YCL.

Substitute Pools
by Deb Hemmye 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

I'm on a TLN (The Library Network) committee that is looking into establishing a pool of substitute clerks and substitute librarians for our members. Do any of you have experience with establishing or using a substitute pool? Some of our early questions are: * How and where do you hold the candidates' information (separate website, consortium or library website, something else)? * What information do you find most helpful to know about each candidate? * Are candidates vetted before becoming part of the pool? If so, who does this? Does vetting include a background check? * How long does a candidate stay on your list or in your database? * Are people ever removed from the list? How? Why? * How many libraries/branches participate in your pool? Many thanks! Deb Hemmye Library Director Huntington Woods Public Library 26415 Scotia Road Huntington Woods, MI 48070 248-543-9720, ext. 686
