Compensation and Other Details
$17/hour with no benefits. Currently our hours have been reduced to Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings only. We hope to get the Tool Library back open to the public Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:30pm – 7:00pm and Saturdays 9:00am – 12:00pm if our volunteers can support this schedule.
The Coordinator is required to be present at the library every Saturday, every other Thursday (if we reopen shifts), and every other Tuesday. Beyond the open hours of the library, the weekly schedule is flexible. The Coordinator can take up to one Saturday off each month if a board member or board approved volunteer can be on call.
