Librarians

Library services are delivered by staff across a range of grades:

Executive Librarians who plan and oversee operations in the six local libraries in the city, and in the departments of the City Library, Grand Parade, as well as planning, promoting and managing programmes of events and activities in their libraries. 

Librarians and Library Staff Officers who assist the Executive Librarians in their role, with devolved responsibilities as appropriate, and who manage operations when Executive Librarians are not present. 

Library Assistants who work directly with the public, answering queries and generally helping the public make best use of the service; Senior Library Assistants who carry out similar tasks but who also have a supervisory role.

Leading and managing the service is the responsibility of the City Librarian and Senior Executive Librarians.
