Program & Services Associate

In preparation for our busy summer full of SummerQuest activities like STEAM summer camps, Somerset County Library seeks an outgoing, energetic, customer-service-focused person to join our team as a Program & Services Associate.  During the summer, Program & Services Associates are most often called upon to

  • help with delivery of creative, fun and educational STEAM summer camps in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math
  • help with SummerQuest Club activities
  • provide Service Desk coverage for other staff while they assist with summer programming or take vacation leave
  • assist with planning and implementation of STEAM Club, One More Chapter Book Club, or other ongoing year-round programs or special grant-funded projects during the summer to allow the staff who usually run those programs to focus on SummerQuest program delivery
  • assist with activities, food distribution, set-up or clean-up for Summer Youth Café programs

This year, our Digital Navigators also need assistance showing people how to use cellular wireless gateways offered through our T-Mobile Hotspot Internet Lending Program (training will be provided).

People in the Program & Services Associate position may work as many as 20 – 34 hours per week or as few as 4-5 hours per week during scheduled weeks according to library needs, funding availability, and employee qualifications and availability.  Some part-time staff who assist during the summer go on to serve as as-needed substitutes for year-round staff or assist periodically with grant-funded events throughout the year.

Work schedule and number of hours per week vary widely according to the library’s needs, availability of grant funding, and employee’s availability.

Program & Services Associate Pay Range:  $10 to $12 per hour.  Starting pay depends on qualifications and experience.  Smiles and expressions on the faces of library patrons when you help them learn something new: priceless!
