Do you also appreciate closeness and community? Like when we address each other by first names, and when everyone uses the same break room and coffee cups. And do you also value security and freedom? Like when you are seen and acknowledged, but have enough space to spread your wings sometimes. We do.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want to be part of developing and creating a library that engages, inspires, and contributes to lifelong learning? We are now looking for a driven and service-oriented librarian who wants to be part of our team and develop the library services together with us. Ragundabiblioteken consists of three units in Hammarstrand, Stugun, and Bispgården. The units work locally in their areas but are part of and collaborate within the organization, led by the municipality's library manager. The position is divided into two parts, 50% public librarian and 50% school librarian.

Public Librarian:

The position is based at Hammarstrand Library but may require work at other libraries in the municipality as needed. You will work to meet visitors of all ages, support their information needs, and contribute to making the library an open and welcoming place.

You will work with:

• Reading promotion activities and programs for children, youth, and adults
• Media management, purchasing, and literature dissemination
• Reference work and guidance in information retrieval and digital services
• Planning and implementation of events, exhibitions, and collaborations
• Development of the library's services and operations in dialogue with visitors and colleagues

School Librarian:

The position is based at Hammarstrand Library and is responsible for the school library services at two schools and one after-school program in Hammarstrand, as well as at the after-school program in Bispgården. Together with public librarians, school librarians, educators, and school management, you will be part of a network for collegial learning. You will be employed as part of the development department where the public library is included but will also be part of working groups at each school.

You will work with:

• Building and developing the school library as a learning environment that is socially, pedagogically, and physically accessible to all students regardless of needs and conditions
• Developing the school library's activities in dialogue with students, educators, school management, and librarians
• Reading promotion activities and programs for students in grades F-9 to strengthen their reading motivation and skills
• Planning, teaching, and mentoring to develop students' media and information literacy and digital competence.
• Media management, purchasing, and literature dissemination

You take initiative and responsibility for moving work forward whether you are working alone or with others. You contribute new ideas and perspectives and often see more than one possible solution in various situations.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a degree in library and information science. You have good communication skills and a genuine interest in people. You are used to working with reading promotion and inclusivity across all ages and have good digital competence and an interest in new working methods.

You have insight into and want to work with and develop the role of libraries in a democratic society. You have a strong commitment to children and youth and their learning and a strong ambition to translate research and in-depth subject knowledge into effective school library practice. You also have good knowledge of media and information literacy (MIL). Experience in program activities and outreach work is an advantage.

Since the job involves travel between different units, you need to have a driver's license and a criminal record check must be presented before employment.

Finding a home for yourself is what we all want. But what is included in the feeling of home? Proximity to work? The feeling of making a difference? The ski trail around the corner? Perhaps your home has actually changed location. Maybe it lies somewhere else. Perhaps you will find it here in Ragunda Municipality!

Ragunda Municipality is located in eastern Jämtland and borders municipalities such as Sollefteå, Sundsvall, and Östersund. We have just over 5000 inhabitants distributed across about 40 villages, as well as the three urban areas of Bispgården, Hammarstrand, and Stugun, all located along the Indals River. In the east, the population is concentrated in the river valley, while the western part also offers a forest land traversed by the Natura 2000-classified Ammerån.
