    K-5 (includes gifted and talented sections for 3-5)

    Date available: 8/31/23

    Closing date: 8/18/23

    Kingston Elementary School is hiring a K-5 elementary librarian. The library is well-funded, recently weeded & renovated, with an excellent diverse collection. Schedule is fixed and includes gifted and talented classes for grades 3-5. It is a largely new staff, which means there is a real need for collaboration and resource support. You could not ask to work for a better community. You have a strong support network, as each elementary school also has a school media specialist, with several others new to the position. If you're interested, please reach out to the former librarian, Nicole Sutton (nicole.signoretta@gmail.com), and she will pass along the principal's contact information as well.
