LIBRARY EXHIBIT ARTIST
New Jersey treats Library Exhibit Artist as a competitive-class job, so the gate is an examination and the ranked list it produces rather than a direct offer.
The minimum is 1 year of relevant experience and a professional license.

Library Exhibit Artist is a local service title. It is filled by the counties, municipalities, authorities and other employers that have adopted civil service under Title 11A, not by State departments. Those employers set pay by ordinance or contract rather than from a State salary schedule, which is why most local titles carry no salary range here.
