Job Description
The library is a welcoming hub for learning, discovery, and connection - and as a part-time Circulation Assistant , you'll help create an exceptional experience for everyone who walks through the doors. Whether you're assisting students, employees, or community members, you'll play an important role in providing friendly service while helping keep library resources organized, accessible, and ready to support learning. In this role, you'll greet patrons, answer questions, check library materials in and out, update patron records, and direct visitors to library and campus resources. You'll help maintain the library's collection by shelving materials, organizing reserves, searching for requested items, and ensuring shelves remain accurate and orderly. You'll also assist with interlibrary loan materials, oversee patron use of copiers, scanners, and printers, collect fines and fees, support opening and closing procedures, and collaborate with colleagues to create engaging library displays that encourage exploration and learning. Every day offers opportunities to interact with a diverse campus community while supporting an inviting and well-organized library environment. We're looking for someone who enjoys helping others and takes pride in providing outstanding customer service. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with computers, digital tools, and standard office equipment. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to maintain accurate records, and a commitment to protecting patron privacy are essential. If you enjoy working in a collaborative environment where your work helps connect people with information and resources, we'd love to have you join our library team.
