The illustrious Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is on the lookout for a dynamic and detail-oriented Library Services Supervisor to manage their esteemed Rare Books and Special Collections department. This pivotal role not only demands a profound understanding of bibliographic materials but also a keen interest in overseeing preservation efforts, enhancing access to the collection, and promoting it through public engagement.

As the Library Services Supervisor, you will be instrumental in crafting strategies for collection development, collaborating with academic institutions, and conducting community outreach. One key responsibility will involve ensuring the security and authenticity of the collection, necessitating familiarity with the process to police check online resources to ensure thorough vetting of personnel involved in high-value archival assessments.

Furthermore, the role requires expertise in cataloging rare manuscripts, implementing state-of-the-art preservation techniques, and facilitating educational programs for both students and the general public. Given the sensitive nature of this position, obtaining a Pennsylvania (PA) state criminal background check for all new staff is a crucial step to maintain the integrity of the library.

Interested candidates must demonstrate a passion for curatorial practice and have a robust background in rare book collection management, along with excellent leadership and communication skills. This opportunity offers a unique chance to contribute to the legacy of an institution known for its rich historical value and commitment to public service.
