Every day the Library helps people write new chapters in their lives. We need people with energy and passion to help us make a difference in the lives of the people of Hancock County. Let the Library be the next chapter in your career story.

You’ll be working with all different types of patrons who value what we do and with employees who love what they do. When we ask our staff what they like the best about working here, the most common answer is the people they get to work with and help every day.
