Multnomah County Library is looking for someone extraordinary to join us as we build and renovate nine public library locations and a materials movement center.  Your work will enable the community to have a significant voice in this work and make these projects come to life. 

We’re looking for someone with significant equity know-how and the right blend of vision, experience, and community focus to become the Library Capital Bond Community Engagement Coordinator.

You will work closely with community partners, county colleagues, contractors, and architecture and design firms to align activities and meet project timelines. You will have the overall responsibility for the vision and implementation of the library’s building program engagement to both internal and external stakeholders.

As part of the Library Capital Bond Project Management Office team, you’ll collaborate with experts in library services, communications, facilities, construction and design on projects from kernel to completion. You will bring forward the ideas, lived experience, opinions, and needs of our community for each unique project, supporting transparent processes to hold project participants accountable. 

Equity is at the core of all we do and your strategy embodies that commitment. You will develop and implement strategies for social media and online communities as part of the digital strategy associated with the bond. You’ll engage more diverse voices and communities, both online and in person, centering race and equity in that engagement. You will establish and maintain contacts with community partners and support the Communications Manager as spokesperson for the library bond projects. You’ll advise on vision and strategy for bond communications around engagement, using an equity lens to create an inclusive, just, and effective approach.  

You will coordinate closely with the location managers and staff at each project location, creating a bridge between the current and future states of our public libraries. You will directly work with location staff to involve them in designing, participating and evaluating community engagement. Your work directly impacts the future success of how new and remodeled libraries meet community needs.

Our library is committed to supporting our communities of color and other communities subjected to marginalization by centering race and intersectionality in the services we provide.

• Speaking up to support staff and patrons subjected to marginalization
• Speaking out against racism and oppression
