I would also recommend investigating the salaries of similarly credentials librarians in your local public library and school library system. I have always used these numbers to negotiate my salary.

The librarian should be considered a staff educator in the same way and the salaries per hour should be equal unless they authorize higher salaries for specific teaching degrees, etc. Lisa Silverman Library Director, Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library [https://reg139.imperisoft.com/Pages/System/Image.aspx?id2=78] Address: 15600 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, California 90077 Phone: (310) 440-1264 Email: lisa.silver...@aju.edu<mailto:lisa.silver...@aju.edu> Website: http://library.aju.edu<http://library.aju.edu/> From: Hasafran [mailto:hasafran-boun...@lists.osu.edu] On Behalf Of Daniel Stuhlman Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 6:21 AM To: Hasafran@lists.osu.edu<mailto:Hasafran@lists.osu.edu> Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Synagogue Librarian Wages Look at the salaries of teachers in the school. The librarian should have an equivalent salary. For example: if a full-time teacher earns $60,000 a year, the librarian salary should be at least $30 / hour. It is better to have a yearly salary than an hourly rate.

I understand if you'd like it to remain private, but a fellow Jewish book-lover would really appreciate any help! I am so lucky to have the opportunity to be hired for the position for which I had been volunteering! The board is asking for a number and I want to give them some comparable wages. Thanks so much for your help!
