Rare job opportunity in Traverse City, MI for an early literacy librarian!
by Deb Radjenovich 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

[image: image.png] *Early Literacy Librarian* Full Time – 40 hours per week Schedule includes daytime, evening, and weekend hours Wage Range - $22.21-29.23 in annual wage steps according to the current union contract *Deadline to apply is July 11, 2022* *WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:* Our perfect candidate is someone with a background in early literacy and would serve as the early literacy expert for the library district and will be heavily involved with shaping the future of early literacy collections, programs, play spaces and initiatives. This position also has a large focus on community outreach. *OUR LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY:* Traverse Area District Library (TADL) consists of a network of libraries serving Grand Traverse County through the following locations: Main Library – Traverse City, East Bay and Kingsley branch libraries; the Fife Lake Public Library, Interlochen Public Library, and Peninsula Community Library. Three of these facilities (Fife Lake, Interlochen, Peninsula) are member libraries that receive most of their support from the district-wide millage. Although member libraries have independent elected boards, hire their own library directors and operate autonomously, they are full partners with TADL. *Mission* The Traverse Area District Library (TADL) provides dynamic resources and innovative services to stimulate intellectual curiosity, facilitate lifelong learning, promote literacy, and nurture personal enrichment. *Community* The Traverse Area District Library network is located in beautiful Grand Traverse County, a community of 95,000 residents. This area is a popular recreation destination with much to offer in all seasons of the year. While much of the county is rural, Traverse City is a dynamic and vibrant beachfront city. As affirmed by our 2021 strategic plan, our library patrons view us as a significant community hub and look to us to maintain strong partnerships throughout the community. Founded in 1869, the Ladies Library Association formed the first groundwork of what continues to be a strong community of library patrons. This includes an active Friends organization and library volunteers. Circulating over one million items a year, users throughout the county visit TADL libraries for books, music, movies, programs, computers, meeting room spaces, and more. *If we've caught your interest and you want to learn more, you can read a complete description **here <https://www.tadl.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Job-Posting-Librarian-1-YS-…>* *!* *And if you want to apply: *Send a completed TADL application (found here <https://www.tadl.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Job-Application-2021-07-23-…> ), a cover letter and resume to : jobs(a)tadl.org Deb Radjenovich, SHRM-SCP she/her/hers Assistant Director for Finance & HR Traverse Area District Library 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 dradjenovich(a)tadl.org 231-932-8549 www.tadl.org

Halloween Make-Up
by Joyce Krom 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

I have hired cosmetology students for Halloween Make-Up programs. If you contact a cosmetology school, an instructor will usually choose the students and supervise the program. Many of the cosmetology schools near me (nowhere near you, unfortunately) do Halloween Make-Up competitions on their social media accounts - super fun!
