Benefits

As Sno-Isle Libraries is committed to the social, cultural and intellectual well-being of the communities we serve, we're just as committed to taking care of our valued staff. We offer a stimulating environment that promotes a healthy attitude towards learning, and a generous benefits package featuring:

Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage

Our health insurance plans are paid by Sno-Isle for all employees working 20 or more hours per week. Employees may also purchase benefits for dependents and domestic partners.

Retirement Savings

Employees working 16 hours per week or more are automatically enrolled in the Washington State Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). Both Sno-Isle and employees contribute toward PERS retirement benefits.

457 Deferred Compensation Plan

All employees are eligible to participate in this voluntary tax-deferred compensation plan. You can supplement any other retirement benefits you may have by setting aside pre-tax dollars in this retirement savings account. Currently, there are over 30 investment funds and fund portfolios to choose from.

Life and Accidental Death Insurance

All full-time employees qualify for the group term life insurance benefit equal to one times their annual salary. Employees working 20-39 hours receive $10,000 in coverage.

Employee Assistance Program

This employer-sponsored program is a confidential counseling assessment and referral service. The EAP offers employees and their families personal and professional counseling, legal and financial consultation services, and more.

Paid Time Off

Full-time employees receive 14 to 24 days of vacation per year, based on years of service. Both full- and part-time (20 hours or more) employees earn up to 8 hours of sick time per month. Sno-Isle also offers 11 paid holidays per year.

Flexible and Daycare Spending Accounts

Employees can set aside a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis to pay for up to $3,000 in family medical expenses and up to $5,000 in child care needs.

We also offer discounted book purchases, and more!

Hello, I'm Rob.

Ask me about:

"In the mornings, I usually process requests for materials that are sent to us from the Service Center over the Web. Once we open, I answer reference questions and help people with technical and computer issues. I also do a lot of collection maintenance, like getting rid of old and damaged books, and ordering new ones. My job also includes creating teen and adult programming. We usually have video game day for teens every Wednesday and we run various adult programs throughout the year. The latest was a class on tracing your genealogy."

"Our teen programs try to dislodge the idea in kids' minds that the library is boring and totally out of touch with their lives. Every Wednesday after school, we host a regular video gaming program. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are especially popular. I always participate with the kids. I'm just up to the point where I can play at the medium level on Guitar Hero. Last time, I was playing with a 14-year-old who had it on expert level and was playing without even looking at the screen. I have a great job!"

"Compared to other libraries, I've found that Sno-Isle has a much better working environment. The atmosphere here is collegial, friendly. Management is very supportive here. You don't see a lot of politics and conflict among the staff. When you wake up in the morning, you want to come to work."

"This is the best place to work in the world. I'm really, really happy here. I moved 2,500 miles from Indiana to take this job. I left all my friends and family back east. And I have never regretted it. This job is that good. I really enjoy coming into work every day. My coworkers are also my friends."

"I'm currently reading Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens. I love the early Dickens novels, with their vibrant characters and high comedy. This is one of Dickens' best."
