Deschutes Public Library System is a dynamic, thriving, and innovative
library district and seeks a passionate collections management
librarian who knows how to bring people and ideas together through
materials in all formats. The system of 5 recently constructed
branches and a bookmobile is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade
mountain range, one of the most beautiful and most desirable counties
in the United States-growing by 53% from 1995 to 2005. This position
will work out of the main branch, downtown Bend, Oregon, a mecca for
outdoor enthusiasts.

 

The successful candidate will be proactive, creative and

Staying abreast of trends in librarianship and developments in the
publishing industry will be vital for the candidate in this position.
Effective management of diverse resources, technology, clientele, and
situations requiring independent decision-making and action will be
essential. We are looking for a candidate that has the desire and the
ability to take collection management to its highest level; develop
and implement systems that provide collections to the library's
communities; and can build on past successes.
