Hi all!

I'm posting this again in case anyone else may have encountered a problem that has been brought to my attention.  Apparently, my initial posting of this went out before our web server had updated its cache of our Employment Opportunities page, linked below, and some of our initial "link clickers" were not fed the page with the current position listed - sorry about that!

Anyway, here it is again, just in case...





The South Portland Public Library is looking for an awesome person to join us in a full time role as a Youth Services Assistant, specializing in services to our preschool aged audience.



The full job description as well as details on the application and review process can be found here:  https://southportlandlibrary.com/employment/
