Pros

The people who work there are incredible nice, socially conscious, and care about the library and the library patrons. The programs function to help people in the community, like practicing English for ESL students, and computer classes for beginners. Overall, not too much stress on the job and the things you contribute to the general well-being of the community.

Cons

No benefits, sporadic work hours for part-timers (depends on your department), the library has recently cut staff and expects remaining staff to do more outreach and programs. "Budget cuts" - the worst phrase you'll ever hear working at the library.

Good benefits package for staff

Cons

The hiring model leaves positions vacant for several months causing libraries to be seriously understaffed.
