Durham County Library currently has nine library
positions available in the GREAT community of Durham,
North Carolina.  Durham County, a progressive and
diverse area with 249,654 residents, is home to Duke
University, North Carolina Central University,
Research Triangle Park, and the Durham Bulls Baseball
Team.  Durham County Library is experiencing
tremendous growth.  In June 2006, we opened the first
of four 25,000-sq.-ft. regional libraries; in
September 2006, we re-opened the historic, restored,
renovated, and expanded Stanford L. Warren Branch
Library; and in January 2007, we opened the second
regional library.  Another new regional facility, as
well as the expansion of an existing branch to a
regional library will take place over the next three
years.  The Main Library is also scheduled for
renovation and expansion—or possible relocation—as
part of a transformed downtown that, by the end of
2008, will have over a half billion dollars in private
investment in addition to major public investment. 
Come join this exciting transformation and renewal of
the Durham County Library system and become a part of
our team. 

A sampling of Durham’s annual events includes the
American Dance Festival, Full Frame Documentary Film
Festival, Bull Durham Blues Festival, and the North
Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.  You will find a
 great climate, wonderful book stores, restaurants,
hiking and biking, two library schools, great
educational institutions and more in the Durham/Chapel
Hill/Raleigh Triangle area.  Atlantic beaches and the
Blue Ridge Mountains are two to four hours away by
car.
