About Us
The Chena Tool Library is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering our community by providing affordable access to tools and knowledge. We are looking for a versatile, community-minded individual to join our team and help our library thrive!

About the Role
This is not your average job—we want to build this position around you. While the core of this role involves staffing the library and keeping our day-to-day operations running smoothly, we want to tailor the rest of your hours to your unique strengths and interests.
Whether you are a whiz at fixing drills, a talented grant writer, or a social media guru, we want to hear from you!

Core Responsibilities
  • Library Staffing: Open and staff the tool library during operating hours, assisting members with checking tools in and out.
  • Community Communication: Dedicate some off-shift time to promptly answer emails, return phone calls, and manage incoming Facebook messages.
  • Expediting: Run occasional errands or handle logistics to keep the library well-supplied and operational.

Make This Role Your Own
We are looking for someone who brings experience or enthusiasm in one or more of the following areas. We will tailor your remaining hours and tasks to match your specific skill set:
  • Tool maintenance and repair
  • Fundraising and grant writing
  • Community building and outreach
  • Social media management and marketing

Requirements & Qualifications
  • Availability: Must be available to work on Saturdays.
  • Tech-Savvy (or willing to learn): Basic computer skills are required. You should be comfortable using Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Drive, and other Google apps) or demonstrate a strong ability to learn them quickly.
  • Physical Ability: Must be comfortable safely climbing ladders and able to lift up to 50 lbs.

What We Offer
  • Flexibility: A schedule and role adapted to your life and skills.
  • Tools for Success: Comprehensive on-the-job training and a provided work phone for off-shift communications.
  • Community Impact: The chance to be a vital part of a growing non-profit that directly benefits the local area.
  • Pay and Benefits: $18 - 20 per hour, depending on experience. Paid time off. Worker’s compensation protection.

How to Apply
Please send your resume and a brief email/cover letter telling us a little about yourself, which of the flexible skills you bring to the table, and why you'd be a great fit for the Chena Tool Library to [email protected]. Please use the email subject line: “CTL Tool Librarian”
