Many of you who are customers of our Children's Room will be dismayed to learn that we are losing one of our long-term (almost 23 years!), part-time library assistants. Sarah Hydorn will be leaving us August 11 to become the full-time Children's Librarian at the Amherst (NH) Public Library. We are thrilled for Sarah, of course, but will sorely miss her enthusiasm, extensive talents and her children's literature expertise in Dover. Please join us in wishing Sarah all the best in her new position!
As a result, we are creating two (2) new part-time positions in the Children's Room, encompassing Sarah's former hours. Here's officially what we'll need in a new DPL employee:

Public library experience not required, but highly desirable.
Duties include checking library materials in and out, registering new borrowers, providing readers’ advisory services and guidance in locating library materials, and assisting patrons in the use of computer workstations and Internet access.
