Salary: $27.34-$33.23/hr; $4,739-$5,760/mo; $56,868-$69,120/yr
Final Filing Deadline: 6/7/2010 5:00:00 PM
Type of Recruitment: Open - Competitive
Department: Library
Type of Employment: Full Time (40 hrs/week)
Date Opened: 5/3/2010 8:00:00 AM
The County of Yolo is currently recruiting to fill a Branch Manager I position for the Yolo County Library. This position is responsible for managing the A.F. Turner Community Library in West Sacramento including branch materials collection, community-wide outreach and programming, providing high level customer service, serving as a member of the Library leadership and policy team, overseeing and administering the branch budget, and cultivating and maintaining positive relations with local officials, government entities, citizens groups, and public service organizations.
To be considered, please submit an online County of Yolo Employment Application and responses to the supplemental questions.
THE DEPARTMENT
The Yolo County Library was formed in 1910, serves a population of approximately 144,310 (2009) and has an annual budget of approximately $5.1 million. The library system includes branches in Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights Landing, Clarksburg and Yolo, as well as a Central Services office located in Woodland that provides technical services and support. Yolo County Library is home to the County’s Archives and Records Center, and also offers a countywide adult literacy program and several other grant programs, and resources, described on the Library's web site at www.yolocountylibrary.org.
The Yolo County Library is well-used and appreciated by the community. Circulation and usage of the Library has increased every year for the past 25 years. In FY 2008-09 there were 635,481 visits to Library facilities; 293,898 hits to the Library web site; more than 1.5 million items circulated; 20,145 individuals attended 903 library-sponsored programs; and community groups used meeting rooms regularly where available, at our Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto and Clarksburg branches.
This is an exciting time for the Yolo County Library. The Stephens Davis Branch Library has recently moved into temporary quarters so that over the next year the main branch can be renovated, space can be added, and a new materials sorting unit can be installed. This is all happening thanks to the successful passage of Measure P, which increased the annual parcel tax due for Davis residents. A new West Sacramento Community Library opened in October, 2009 and a new joint use Winters Community Library opened in November, 2009.
A seven member Library Advisory Board makes recommendations and provides advice on library policies, service development, and direction.

THE DEPARTMENT
The Yolo County Library was formed in 1910, serves a population of approximately 144,310 (2009) and has an annual budget of approximately $5.1 million. The library system includes branches in Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights Landing, Clarksburg and Yolo, as well as a Central Services office located in Woodland that provides technical services and support. Yolo County Library is home to the County’s Archives and Records Center, and also offers a countywide adult literacy program and several other grant programs, and resources, described on the Library's web site at www.yolocountylibrary.org.
The Yolo County Library is well-used and appreciated by the community. Circulation and usage of the Library has increased every year for the past 25 years. In FY 2008-09 there were 635,481 visits to Library facilities; 293,898 hits to the Library web site; more than 1.5 million items circulated; 20,145 individuals attended 903 library-sponsored programs; and community groups used meeting rooms regularly where available, at our Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto and Clarksburg branches.
This is an exciting time for the Yolo County Library. The Stephens Davis Branch Library has recently moved into temporary quarters so that over the next year the main branch can be renovated, space can be added, and a new materials sorting unit can be installed. This is all happening thanks to the successful passage of Measure P, which increased the annual parcel tax due for Davis residents. A new West Sacramento Community Library opened in October, 2009 and a new joint use Winters Community Library opened in November, 2009.
