📖 We will be closed for Labor Day weekend! 📖

Labor Day is coming soon! We here at the library hope everyone takes a well deserved rest this weekend as we approach the holiday. After a long work week, month, or year, it's only right to spend time with family and friends with no work related responsibilities or obligations.

We are grateful for all of the hardworking men and women who keep our nation running smoothly and who provide us with the comforts of this modern life. We certainly wouldn't be able to enjoy a place like a library if it weren't for the people who build and maintain our nation. We are honored to be able to give back to you with our services!

Enjoy your holiday everyone! We will get back to work when it's all said and done!

Just a reminder that our feedback form for the Summer Reading Program is still open. We would love to hear from you! It will only take a couple minutes of your time and we don't ask for anything more than a couple of words on how you or your kids think the program went.
If you want a paper version of the form you are welcome to come to the library whenever we are open and we will get you set up.

Thank you in advance!

📣 Hiring for a library assistant! 📣

While it can be said that working at a library is an "easy" job - and that's partly true - it isn't without it's challenges. Schedules, paperwork, funding, programing, cleaning, cataloging, and on and on can pile up when left to one operating director. Which is why we are looking for someone to come and partner with us in making sure the Jamestown City Library operates smoothly.

What can you expect from this position?

📖 You will learn the daily ins and outs of what it takes to keep the library open. We will rely on you to ensure the library runs smoothly with or without the director present, and you will be the first we call in the event of a scheduling need. From checking in and out books, to creating new patron accounts, you'll be a regular library aficionado.

📚 This position is part time with no more than 12 hours available to work in one week and a very flexible schedule. We offer weekends and evenings and we are willing to work with you and accommodate your needs.

📖 You can expect to participate in various programs and activities hosted at the library. We provide events and activities for a wide audience, and are particularly interested in reaching school age children. If you are creative, have worked with kids, and have a willingness to participate in family oriented activities you will fit right in.

If you are a teenager or adult who lives in/around Jamestown you are welcome to apply for this position. It's a great opportunity to learn, and a very good supplemental job to fill gaps in a person's schedule. If you are interested and would like to know more please contact us by phone or by email, and please feel free to pick up an application any time the library is open. We are accepting applications now until the position is filled, and will be interviewing applicants periodically.

Thank you for reading and sharing, and Let the hiring games begin!

If you or your child participated in our Summer Reading Program please take a moment to fill out this survey. This gives us the important feedback we need to keep the SRP going for many years, and it is vitally important to maintaining our regular operations. We take every bit of feedback into consideration and we plan to use the responses we receive to fine tune next year's program.

Thank you in advance for your time!

👋🏻 Farewell Summer Reading Program!👋🏻

We had so much fun this summer during our SRP, and we may have had even more at our final event of the summer!

It was hot, but with water games and free popsicles we didn’t really notice. The kids played games all evening long and barely slowed down enough to eat supper. Fortunately we were able to catch them and get a picture at Kimberly Marshall’s dinosaur Photo Booth before they ran off again!

Thank you Hungry Hollow Ministries for supplying us with burgers. We ate well and definitely appreciated your presence. Come back again!

Thank you to the Jamestown City Library board members for ensuring we have everything we need. From gift baskets, to water coolers, to all of the fun games, we wouldn’t have anything without you!

And a special thank you to all the families who allowed their children to participate in the programs. Your kids read SO MANY BOOKS this summer! They played games, won prizes, ate a lot of candy, and had a generally good time over the last two months. We love having them here at the library and we couldn’t be more grateful for the community we get to be part of.

We love you Jamestown and we can’t wait for next year!
