THE ROLE Cork County Council invites applications from suitably qualified persons, who wish to be considered for inclusion on panels from which vacancies for Executive Librarian (Grade 6) may be filled. The Executive Librarian post is a professional management level role responsible for the delivery and development of library services. It involves managing staff, resources, programmes and service areas.

The Library Service in County Cork is delivered through a network of 25 branch libraries, a fleet of mobile libraries, and an expanding range of online services. Branch libraries are located in the county’s main towns, with the Library Headquarters on Carrigrohane Road serving as the central hub for Reference and Local Studies, bibliographic services, and administration. The core mission of the Library Service is to provide inclusive access to reading, information, knowledge, culture, and lifelong learning for the people of County Cork and beyond.

Cork County Library works to fulfil this mission through a branch and mobile library network that places libraries at the centre of their communities, as well as through a growing online presence that seeks to connect with and serve people in a digital society. As the Library Service is a county-wide service, staff may be required to provide cover at, and may be reassigned to, any service point within County Cork, as required by the County Librarian.
