Description:

The Service and Culture Administration is Katrineholm Municipality's shared service, technology, and culture organization. Here, expertise in service, technology, culture, leisure, and tourism are brought together in one administration. We are responsible for the municipality's library operations, culture and youth activities, tourism matters, support for associations, artistic decoration, and development of an active cultural and leisure life. At the same time, we are responsible for the operation, management, and development of services in meals, living environment, facilities, facility maintenance, communications, sports facilities, and other municipal services. Together, we work to create attractive and sustainable environments where people can live, meet, and develop. With commitment, professionalism, and a strong focus on residents, we contribute every day to making Katrineholm a place with good quality of life and confidence in the future. Welcome to become part of an administration where service spirit, creativity, and social benefit go hand in hand. The libraries in Katrineholm Municipality are important meeting places for people of different ages and backgrounds. Through literature, culture, knowledge, and guidance, we contribute to reading enjoyment, education, participation, and a democratic society. The municipality's main library is located in the newly renovated Culture House Ängeln. Here, the library works closely with colleagues in art and culture, which creates good opportunities for collaboration, program activities, and new meetings. Library operations also include branch libraries around the municipality and school libraries that are staffed in close cooperation with the Education and Employment Administration. The library is in an exciting development phase. Following the renovation, we are now developing our working methods, digital media, and new ways to promote reading. With us, you will be part of a dedicated work group with great knowledge of the library's mission and a desire to develop operations together based on residents' needs. We are now looking for a librarian with digital curiosity who wants to contribute with their expertise, ideas, and commitment to our continued work. 1 position(s).
