Full-time Library Assistant

Job Description:

The Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library is seeking a community oriented, intelligent, customer-service focused, and technologically capable individual to join the library team. The library assistant serves as support staff and will be called upon to exercise judgment in the application of library techniques and procedures.  While the library assistant will have to perform some routine clerical tasks, he/she will be assigned responsibilities for numerous aspects of the daily operation of the library.  Specific duties are determined by the librarian, and may vary considerably with circumstances.  As one of the persons most visible to patrons entering the library, the library assistant must project a friendly and helpful attitude, and be willing to try to satisfy patron needs, both by using his/her own knowledge and skills, and by seeking the assistance of the librarian (or regional staff members) when needed.  Although the library assistant does not supervise the library technicians, he/she may lend assistance to the technicians as circumstances warrant.  The library assistant serves as the person in charge in the absence of the librarian.  The Library Assistant must know policy and procedure, and reports to the librarian.

Application:

Please submit a Cover Letter and Resumé with three references to the County Librarian, Jared Jacavone, via mail or email at jjacavone@pettigrewlibraries.org. The due date for application is July 21, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
