The library’s website is getting a makeover. Watch for a new design with new features later this spring. www.fairportlibrary.org

Working at the Library Fairport Public Library has a variety of staff positions and some of our most dedicated and hardworking employees are the high school pages. The library hires 15 and 16 year old students, hoping that they will work for two years before moving on to college. The library can be a great place to work about 10 hours during the week: afternoons, evenings and weekends, all year round. Applications are available at our Information desk or on the Internet at www.fairportlibrary.org. The interviewing begins in May and usually 6—8 students are hired from a huge pool of 50-60 applications. New pages will begin training around July 1st, learning how to sort and shelve carts of library materials before beginning computer training at the Check-out Desk. Any questions about this process can be answered by Mrs. Kelly at 223-9091.
