      As a juvenile librarian I create programming for children of all ages. My regular responsibilities include creating storytimes for toddlers and preschoolers, programming with school-age children, and assisting with teen activities. I also work the reference desk where I assist library patrons of all ages with reader's advisory, computer help, searching for materials, and any other questions they may have. I help to maintain the juvenile collection at our location through weeding and evaluating materials on the shelves. Show less
