Entry Level

A library page position is an entry-level part-time library position. Hours include afternoons, evenings and weekend shifts for an average of 12 hours per week.

Responsibilities include: returning (re-shelving) items to the shelves, emptying book drops outside, carrying loads of materials up and down stairs, shelf-reading (making sure items are in their proper order on the shelves.)

Pages assist with shutting down the building at closing, which includes picking up items that were pulled out during the day, straightening chairs, turning off computers, reminding patrons of impending closing, and checking that doors and windows are properly secured. Knowledge of alphabetical and numerical order is imperative. Attention to detail is also very important. Candidates should be organized, able to work well independently, reliable and dependable.
