The Community
Picture yourself in a small-town library where patrons walk in and greet you by name. You spend your day teaching a senior how to use their new phone, helping a business owner print fliers, handing out snacks to kids afterschool, and hosting an evening book club. In the quiet moments you take time to deep-dive into local history, decorate the library for spring, or create a book display.
If this sounds like your dream job, our Adult Services Librarian position may be for you! At Eaton Public Library we're not just a library – we're a beloved community treasure where patrons come to connect, discover and grow.
