About this role
Here in Falkenberg Municipality, you can make a significant difference. Our job is to provide excellent municipal services at all stages of life. We are also involved in developing Falkenberg as a place. Our vision is to grow for a sustainable future.
The Culture, Leisure, and Technology Administration is the municipality's third-largest department. We have 180 employees with a broad area of responsibility that includes libraries, cultural schools, museums, public art, property and projects, streets and traffic, ports, parks and coasts, facilities and swimming, open youth activities, support for associations, as well as consumer and budget counseling.
The libraries in Falkenberg consist of the city library in Argus, five local libraries, and two library buses. Currently, 25 people work in the library organization, and we are now looking for a new colleague! We seek someone who is passionate about children's reading and language development and wants to help develop our children's activities.
JOB DESCRIPTION
You will primarily drive and work with children's activities, mainly at the city library. This includes planning and implementing programs, activities, reading promotion initiatives, and collaboration with other stakeholders, such as the cultural school and child health services.
The libraries in Falkenberg are also part of the initiative Language Start Halland. Here, we conduct home visits to families with children aged 6 and 11 months. One goal of these visits is to inspire and encourage guardians to use language together with their children. Each family receives a language gift during the visit. All three-year-olds in the municipality also receive a language gift as part of Language Start Halland. This gift is distributed together with the library bus Humlan.
The position also includes scheduled work at the information desks at the city library, including evenings and weekends, where you will serve as the library's outward face. In your role as a librarian, you will work with our broad mandate and meet all visitors: children, young people, and adults. Therefore, having an inclusive and relationship-building approach is very important. You may also be required to work at our other libraries as needed.

It is important that you are engaged and genuinely want to work with children and their families to thrive and succeed in this role. You need to be outgoing, social, flexible, and proactive. Enjoying collaboration with colleagues is essential. For you, it is important to work with a positive attitude and ensure that the library is accessible to everyone.
For the position, it is advantageous if you:
