Position Description
This is a Non-Civil Service position located in the Nashville Public Library. The Bookmobile Outreach Coordinator supports the mission of Nashville Public Library by coordinating bookmobile scheduling, overseeing mobile outreach efforts, providing exemplary customer service, and delivering library services to diverse communities and educational partners. This position plays a key role in connecting students, educators, and families with access to high-quality library materials and programs through mobile service delivery.
A city with a great library is a great city, and that's very true for Nashville. With nearly three million visits per year - and a collection of almost two million items - Nashville Public Library (NPL) is Music City's gateway to lifelong learning, growth, and community connection. Our one-of-a-kind Civil Rights Room and Votes for Women Room bring visitors together to explore the history of civil rights and plot a course for our shared future. Our lauded Wishing Chair Productions puppet shows and story times delight audiences of all ages with stories that make them laugh, love, and grow. Meanwhile, initiatives like Studio NPL, Bringing Books to Life, Seed Exchange, Be Well at NPL, and Digital Inclusion connect Nashvillians with resources from across our 21-location system to learn new skills, enrich their quality of life, and forge long-lasting friendships. If you have a passion for helping people, love books and learning, and desire to be part of a team that does transformative work every day, then NPL just might be the place for you.
