In September, the Library will host three focus groups at the library. These sessions are an opportunity for conversation about what you seek in your library: what to read, what to see and what to do.
Sessions will be:
Thursday, September 16 at 5:30 p.m.
Friday, September 17 at 10:00 a.m.
Tuesday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m.
Focus groups are for both library users and non-users. Call the Library at 508-485-5031 and speak with Library Director, Jane Cain, to get involved.
If you haven’t filled out the town-wide library survey, there is an online survey available if you click here. Results from the surveys, from our conversations with you, and from the focus groups will help us shape the future of the library.
Duties/Description: Up to 16 hours per week. Applicants should have computer experience and a basic knowledge of library shelving techniques using the Dewey Decimal System.
Pages typically shelve books in all sections of the library, and work under the direction of a staff librarian.
The ability to work with the general public, including parents, children, students, and teachers is essential. Communicating effectively and clearly, verbally and in writing, in person and over the telephone is also important.
Must have a flexible schedule as library hours may vary. Must be available to work one evening per week and two Saturdays a month.

A long-range plan helps any organization grow and change effectively. The Southborough Public Library Director and Board of Trustees have begun writing up a plan to carry through until 2015, and we can use your help!
There are surveys available at the front desk of the library for library visitors to fill out, to express what individuals seek in the library to read, what electronic materials, movies, music, and computer services are wanted, and more. It’s easy to take the survey online – click here . The town-wide survey is one of the first steps in finding out what Southborough community members want from their public library. It is designed for responses from both library users and non-users. Call the Library at 508-485-5031 and speak with Library Director, Jane Cain, for more information.
In September, the Library will host a series of public focus groups for those interested, to provide input on library plans and priorities. We hope participation levels are high for the town-wide survey and the focus groups, to make the long-range plan most effective.
