Job postings and applications are available at the following locations:

• On this web site


• At each Branch location


• On the self-service table on the first floor of the Downtown Library immediately to the left when you enter the building; next to the copy machine

There are two categories of job postings at the AADL:

Posted Vacancies

Posted Vacancies have a specifically identified application deadline. The vacancies in this category may include full or part-time positions, and may be either regular (with employer-paid benefits) or casual (hourly positions with no benefits). Applications for posted vacancies remain active until the conclusion of the recruitment activity for that specific position. Applications are reviewed after the application deadline, and interviews are generally scheduled within 14-21 days of that date. All applicants for posted vacancies will receive a confirmation of receipt of their application, and will be notified of the outcome of the recruitment process for the position.

Pooled Positions

These positions generally have a higher level of hiring activity than other positions in the Library, and the Library will accept applications for them on an ongoing basis in order to maintain an applicant "pool." All pooled positions are casual, part-time positions, and do not include benefits. Applications which meet the minimum qualifications for the positions remain active for three (3)months from the date received by the Library and will be reviewed by the hiring supervisor for any openings which occur during that period. There may not be current openings for pooled positions at any given time. The hiring supervisor will contact applicants directly if an interview is desired.

Please do not call the Human Resources Office regarding the status of your application. Due to the volume of applications reviewed, and the intermittent nature of the hiring activity, the Human Resources office is not able to provide information regarding the status of any individual application for pooled positions. Applicants will receive a postcard confirming receipt of their application, but will not be notified of the outcome of each hiring opportunity.
