SF part-time job, Librarian

Pratum Children's Library is looking for an assistant to Mr. Pratum.

Part-time job that could possibly turn into a full time job. There are three "parts" to this unique job. The first part is that you MUST be technologically savvy and knowledgeable as you will have to diagnose and solve numerous technological issues revolving around email, scanning, data entry, voice mail, web site management, on both Mac & PC platforms. If your tech experience was always supported by an IT guy you could call if you had problems then this job is not for you.

The second part is that you will be dealing with kids every afternoon as assistant to me in my library. You must LOVE kids. You must have experience with kids (more than just your own) and you must be interested in alternative and holistic pedagogies. We practice non-violent communication with kids and you will be trained in that. Simply put you never talk down to kids, never punish, and never reward. We are about having fun in the library, and for the right person this will be fun for you!

The third part, and the simplest part, is cataloging rare books. In this I will train you, book freaks encouraged to apply! My library is located in the middle of the Marin Art & Garden Center, and the position needs to be filled immediately.

What I need is somebody who has passion, real passion for life, not a distant, remote person. You must believe in the power of knowledge and wisdom. You must be very well organized, and lastly, you must be a "people person." You also should have a car as there are some days where you will have to work in my Oakland home-office, although carpooling is possible. All else is negotiable. Pay is $10.00 to start, if you show real aptitude I will give you a generous raise.

No phone calls please, send your resume and in your cover letter state in summary your experience with:

Technology
Children
People skills
If you have a car.

Please apply asap, I would like to hire somebody this week.

Thank you and best of luck in your search. Todd Pratum, Knowledge@Pratum.com.
