The Ocean County Library (OCL) is an innovative, customer-oriented public library system, the largest in the State of New Jersey. The OCL is seeking applicants for summer seasonal employment to serve as coordinators for the Library's Service and Achievement in the Library (S.A.I.L.) Program. The S.A.I.L. Program uses teen volunteers to provide support at host branch libraries for a range of summer activities.

Examples of Duties
Working under the supervision of a host branch manager, S.A.I.L. Coordinators are responsible for the leadership of the teen volunteers and are responsible for the oversight and management of the Library's other teen summer volunteer program, Reading Buddies. The Reading Buddies Program pairs a Teen Buddy (i.e., teen volunteer) with a Kid Buddy (primary school age customer) for one-on-one reading support.
