To thrive as a Part Time Library Assistant, you need organizational skills, attention to detail, and basic literacy and computer proficiency, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with library catalog systems (such as Koha or Sierra), digital archives, and office equipment is typically required. Strong customer service, communication skills, and a collaborative attitude help you engage effectively with patrons and team members.

What are some typical responsibilities and challenges faced by part-time library staff?

Part-time library staff are often responsible for assisting patrons with locating materials, checking items in and out, shelving books, and helping to maintain an organized, welcoming environment. A common challenge is balancing peak times when multiple patrons require assistance, especially during busy periods or special events. Additionally, part-time employees may need to quickly adapt to new technologies and library systems, as well as collaborate with full-time staff to ensure smooth daily operations. This role is a great opportunity to build customer service and organizational skills in a supportive, community-focused setting.

Nature & Purpose of Position
Newton Gresham Library faculty and staff envision a library that supports and enhances the development of critically thinking, educated, and informed lifelong learners.

Other duties include basic administrative functions of an office such as filing, sorting, answering phones, and running errands, helping to staff library events, and assisting patrons with locating campus resources. Circulation student assistants create their own schedules within a few parameters: shifts must be between 2-8 hours in length; shifts must include two 7:30am openings, two closings, or one 7:30 am and one closing; and a max of 5 student assistants may sign up for a single timeslot.
Other Requirements for the Position
