Job Description
Are you a cheerleader for Libraries? Are you dedicated to educating citizens about services that public libraries offer? We want you! We are looking for an outgoing, creative individual who will help the Wilsonville Public Library reach every household in Wilsonville. Though our Library services reach far throughout the City (and beyond), we want more! Focusing on those who are not easily reached through traditional marketing methods, you will initially work on getting the word out about the value of early learning, inviting families to the library, and signing kids up for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (imaginationlibrary.com). Many of our residents speak Spanish, so we are looking for someone fluent in Spanish as well. Our Library boasts a top-notch team that consistently weaves imagination and execution together to provide excellent services. You will also help with library programming, do some collection development, and other more library focused activities when there is time.
Sounds challenging, right? Challenge accepted! If you are ready to join an innovative, fun, values-focused team, submit your application materials today!
We have always been a home for those who think differently, expect more but don’t want to settle for the status quo. It is a place that people can call home, where the sky opens up a bit, and the air is a little cleaner. Here we measure quality of life by meaningful relationships instead of the number of cars you can fit in your garage.
Within its limits are bold thinkers who work hard for what they want. It’s not a city of entitlement, but rather born from the river with a rich heritage of commerce. Steeped in history, it began with the founding of Boone’s Landing, home to one of the first ferries over the Willamette River. Over time, it became the Gateway to the Willamette Valley—the “Eden” at the end of the Oregon Trail where American settlers and the valley’s original people, Kalapuya, found common purpose in agriculture. Today, it still exists and stands as the destination for some of Oregon’s most innovative and coveted companies.
With the feeling of a small and tight-knit community, yet with all the amenities and access to its urban neighbors, the City of Wilsonville is nested on the edge of Oregon’s finest agricultural country. Poised at equidistant locations between Portland and Salem, the City of Wilsonville connects the I-5 corridor of activity and provides easy access to the highway with its innovative commercial and residential planning.
Wilsonville has a small town feel with the accessibility of big town benefits and the richness of all the wonders that nature has to offer.

It’s the perfect marriage of modern and traditional–balancing values with a purpose-led lifestyle. Home to a new generation of enterprising families, citizens, growing companies and forward-thinking personalities, The City of Wilsonville is rooted in the past, with an enlightened vision for the future.
