All employees of the Library are hired from lists provided by Mobile Civil Service (formerly the Mobile County Personnel Board).
We employ approximately 175 workers, including librarians and other professionals and clerical staff. Most are full-time employees, and the rest are part-time or supernumerary (substitute) workers.
When we have a vacancy, we request a list of qualified candidates from Mobile Civil Service. We interview each one and make a selection when all interviews are completed.
