Hi Friends! I’m reaching out to share multiple paid opportunities at the Novi Public Library. We are currently seeking Program Instructors to lead upcoming Library programs. These postings (see attached) are for paid Program Instructors. The chosen individuals will be hosting Library programs and will not be considered a Novi Public Library employee. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in community programming, education, or a related field who is interested in engaging with the public and supporting the Library’s mission of lifelong learning. If you know of any individuals or organizations who may be a good fit, we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word. For more detail please see the attached listings. Thank you!

More Shelving

Hello All, We are giving away more of our shelving that we no longer need in hopes that another library will be able to use it. This round is Montel periodical shelving. These are the ones with the flip up display shelf with room underneath for past issues. As before if you think you can use them but don't have Montel shelving we can send a sample shelf end to see if it will work for your setup. We have 6 of them and they will have to be picked up.
