Library Page - Stephen A Schwarzman Building / Berg Collection

Do you love books and love helping people? The New York Public Library has been an essential provider of free books, information, ideas and education for all New Yorkers for more than 100 years.  As a Library Page at The New York Public Library you will do that and much more.  A Page position is meant to give you knowledge about what it means to work within a library system. You will have access to a wealth of knowledge and experience which will allow you to decide if the library is where you want to begin your career. We are looking for candidates that demonstrate a strong work ethic, are reliable and possess excellent written and verbal communications skills. You will be expected to be an ambassador for the library, so a friendly demeanor goes a long way. 

The Page will join the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature, one of the Library’s special collections that houses rare books, manuscripts and archives. The collection spans the fifteenth century to the present, with particular strength in nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century literary manuscripts and author archives. The page will work with all areas of the collection, and will have opportunities for training in conservation and handling techniques as well as digitization.

You will have access to the Library Page Fellowship Program as a Library Page. A career growth development program that empowers youth as they shape their careers. The Program provides resources to help develop career readiness skills, explore career goals, and provide on-the-job coaching, training, and mentorship.
