A surprise position has opened at my own library for a teen librarian. Here is the posting.
Once again I am reminded how much competition there is for these jobs, both from new grads and highly experienced people, and with the local library world being small, most of my future competition are my friends.

Flathead Job opening
As part of LIS 501 we need to find and analyze job announcements-- bringing to light a few more that I haven't caught already. The Flathead county, for example, posted this announcement, that has this job description. It's for a youth services librarian, and (get this!) new graduates are encouraged to apply. To bad it's in Montana.
I hope that this 501 assignment will help with the professional portfolio I put together out of this working blog!

Job Postings Feb-July 2010
While the job market is still in a tough spot I have come across a few positions that would serve me well to begin my professional career, although none are the ideal full time, local job, they all provide the type and professional level of work I would like to do in a public library setting.
In late February 2010 the Willsonville Public Library posted a part time children's librarian position as show here, in the job announcement, and the job description. Also included are supplemental questions.
In April 2010 Esticada was looking for a Youth Services Coordinator. This position appears to be mainly programing and working with the public as opposed to the collection development role of a librarian, it does require a MLIS or equivalent (yet the pay does not seem to reflect the high level of education needs). Here is the job description, the announcement, and the application.
Later in April Salem posted a senior children's library position. While the job requires more experience than I have, it is a position I would like to end up in after a few years as a children's librarian. Here is the announcement.
In June 2010 Fort Vancouver posted a highly coveted position for a collection development librarian for children's materials. Here is the announcement, and supplemental questions.
I continue to be on the look out for more professional openings in the greater Portland area. I know that we need not limit ourselves to our desired location, hours, or rate of pay for the portfolio, but it's the easiest way to look for jobs at this time.
