The Morristown & Morris

driving the bookmobile to community stops, circulating material from the
bookmobile collection and conducting story times and activities with
children.  The person in this position visits
schools to sign up children with library cards and orders and processes new
bookmobile collection material and supplies. 
The position also involves community outreach with organized events including
special school visits, Halloween Trunk or Treating, the Morris County St.
Patrick’s Day Parade, Diversity Day, the Hope Festival, and Fall Festival on
the Green.  There is also opportunity to

themes, or have created in-person or take-home crafts for children.  The person in this position will also help to

development, purchase of prizes and other activities.  We like a person who can work independently,
but also work as a part of a great team here at the Library.
