Pros

Generally, this was a good place to work, coworkers are really wonderful people. It had a cohesive team feeling because of the small staff, we had to help each other out. A big plus is that the library trustees actually use the library and seem to be pro-staff.

Cons

Adult services and youth services are the two departments that lack good management.

Pros

There were wonderful benefits for full time employees.

Cons

You have to deal with petty, passive-aggressive and hostile behavior from most of the staff you work with. No one is willing to help anyone else, there is no positive communication, and you will be talked about in the office space behind your back to other employees. The benefits do not out way the mental abuse you will suffer working here. There is no room for advancement, you will be stuck here and you will be miserable. The HR department doesn't exist, if you have any issues they will be completely ignored and you should expect retaliation for your complaint. The environment is toxic.
