Collection and Circulation Librarian
August 2015
 
University School of Nashville (USN) seeks a collaborative, creative, and 
outgoing library professional to manage all aspects of the library’s collection 
including circulation, acquisitions, and patron services. The Collection and 
Circulation Librarian works collaboratively with all members of the school 
community in support of academic programs, faculty instruction, and student 
learning. The Collection and Circulation Librarian reports to the Library Director 
and participates fully as a member of the library team.
 
The Hassenfeld Library is a 20,000-square-foot facility serving students and 
faculty from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Its 25,000 volumes, numerous 
study areas, multiple technology access points, archives, and specialized 
instructional spaces complement a large central reading room. The Hassenfeld 
Library’s centerpiece location on campus makes it a popular gathering and 
programming space for the entire school community.
University School of Nashville is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational 
day school with enrollment of 1,050 students kindergarten through twelfth 
grade.  In 1915, the George Peabody College for Teachers opened Peabody 
Demonstration School (PDS), USN’s predecessor, which earned acclaim for its 
curriculum and faculty. In 1974, Peabody College announced plans to close PDS, 
and a group of parents, alumni, students, and teachers reconstituted and re-
chartered the school as University School of Nashville.
 
USN’s mid-town location next to Vanderbilt University and its Peabody College 
for Teachers reminds us every day of our 100-year-old roots in the 
demonstration school culture of innovation and educational best practices. It’s a 
vibrant educational community for both students and teachers in the midst of a 
dynamic city.
 
A deep-rooted culture of achievement at USN means that students expect much 
of each other, and faculty benefit from that high standard. We seek educators 
who are enthusiastic about their own learning to complement their teaching, and 
we offer many opportunities for professional development. USN is committed to 
creating an institutional environment that mirrors the cultural and ethnic 
composition of greater Nashville. USN encourages a diverse applicant pool and 
provides equal employment opportunities for employees and job applicants.
