Duties and Responsibilities:

• Work at the Circulation Desk, answer questions, use telephone, and email.
• Check in & out materials.
• Process library holds and loans.
• Create and update patron records.
• Perform opening and closing procedures.
• Shelve and organize library materials.
• Run reports and compile monthly stats.
