The Library at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is looking for a few good students for short term work.
After two years in storage, the Library of the Maritime Museum is finally moving back into its newly renovated home. We are tentatively scheduled to begin unpacking the week of May 9th with completion by the end of the month. If anyone is looking for 2-3 weeks work, we’re offering $12-$15 per hour for unpacking and re-shelving library materials. Experience working with Dewey and handling rare books would be an asset, but not necessary. Our hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30-4:30. While it would be ideal to have a small team of full time workers for the duration of the project, we’re happy to accept part-timers. Our goal is to get the job done!
