Join Our Team!

Youth Services Department Head

Inspire. Lead. Create. Connect.

The Cutchogue New Suffolk Free Library is seeking an exceptional leader who believes that libraries can change lives, one child, one family, and one story at a time.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and compassionate professional who genuinely loves working with children and their families. The ideal candidate is someone who can effortlessly transition from leading a lively story time to mentoring staff, planning innovative programs, managing collections and budgets, collaborating with community partners, and contributing to the library’s leadership team, all while maintaining a positive attitude and welcoming smile.

This position is much more than planning children's programs. It is an opportunity to shape the experiences that foster early literacy, curiosity, lifelong learning, and meaningful community connections. As the leader of our Youth Services Department, you will inspire a dedicated team, build lasting partnerships, and create an inviting environment where every child feels valued and every family feels welcome.

We are seeking someone who:

• Brings energy, warmth, and enthusiasm to every interaction.
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment while balancing multiple priorities.
• Leads with kindness, professionalism, and a collaborative spirit.
• Enjoys mentoring and supporting staff while encouraging creativity and innovation.
• Values outstanding customer service and meaningful community relationships.
• Believes every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of reading, learning, and exploring.

If you are an experienced library professional who combines strong leadership with a passion for serving children and families, we invite you to join our team and help shape the next chapter of Youth Services at the Cutchogue New Suffolk Free Library.

Bring your ideas. Bring your leadership. Bring your smile.

We can't wait to meet you.
