a multicultural neighborhood that includes Latinos, Russian speaking
immigrants and African American families. Currently Gresham Library has
bilingual Russian and Spanish speaking staff and anticipates expanding our
capacity to serve multilingual residents into the future.



This position requires four (4) years of professional library reference
experience, including a minimum two years of management experience in a
large, multi-cultural public library with high circulation and usage.
Experience
working in a unionized environment is preferred. A Master's Degree from an
American Library Association accredited college or university with major
course work in library science or equivalent is required.
