employees
A. The county free library shall be under the general supervision of the board of

county free library, and establish, upon recommendation of the county librarian, branches
and stations throughout the county which may be located in incorporated or unincorporated
cities and towns when deemed advisable.
B. The board may determine the number and kind of employees of the library, and may
appoint and dismiss such employees upon recommendation of the county librarian. An
employee shall not be removed except for cause, and in case a removal is made upon the
ground that the services of the employee are no longer required, the removed employee
shall have the first right to be restored to employment when such services are again
required, but the board may at the time of employing an employee, and upon the
recommendation of the county librarian, enter into an agreement that the employee be
employed for a definite time only.
C. All employees of the county free library whose duties require special training
in library work shall be classified in grades to be established by the county librarian,
with the advice and approval of the board of library examiners, according to the duties
required of them, experience in library work and other qualifications for the service
required. Before appointment to a position in classified service, the candidate shall
pass an examination appropriate to the position sought, satisfactory to the county
librarian, and disclose a satisfactory experience in library work. Work in approved
library schools or libraries, or certificates issued by the board of library examiners,
may be accepted by the county librarian in lieu of such examination.
D. The county librarian may accept as apprentices, without compensation, persons
possessing personal qualifications satisfactory to him and may dismiss them at any time
if in his judgment their work is not satisfactory.
