All candidates for employment must fully complete, date, and sign the standard employment application form. The form should be completed in detail, including a complete work history. LPL may investigate any portion of the requested information and may deny or later terminate the employment of anyone giving false, misleading, or incomplete information.

All applications for employment with LPL must be signed by the applicant. Applications may be mailed, e-mailed via a scan, or dropped off at any Library service desk.  Applications are accepted at all times, even though a specific vacancy may not exist at that time. Applications are kept on file for six months after the date they are received. When vacancies occur, the Director and/or the appropriate supervisor will review the current applications and will select several candidates to be interviewed.

All selected candidates are interviewed by the same person or group of people, using the same set of questions and testing materials.  More than one interview may take place to determine the top candidate. The Director makes the final decision on who is hired from the candidates interviewed.
