Circulation Assistant II
DESCRIPTION
The Circulation Assistant II helps create a welcoming, friendly environment where patrons of all ages feel comfortable using the library and its services. This position is much more than working at the circulation desk. In a small library, every day is different, and staff members work together to keep the library running smoothly. One day you may be helping a child find their next favorite book, assisting someone with printing a document, putting away hundreds of books, or posting to social media. The next day you may be setting up for a program, picking up toys after story time, unclogging a toilet, or tackling another unexpected task.
The Circulation Assistant II provides excellent customer service, assists with circulation and patron services, supports library programs and collections, and performs a wide variety of duties as needed. A positive attitude, reliability, flexibility, and a willingness to jump in wherever needed are essential. Starting Pay: $16.00 per hour
