library help desk services to all ages. These services will include answering
reference questions, instructing patrons in the use of electronic and print
resources, and at times acting as the librarian in charge of the building.

reasonable availability to work occasional nights and or weekends. Applicant
should have strong computer skills, including Internet and the use of online
databases, as well as the ability to learn the basics of the Sirsi/Workflows
automation system.
Applicant will also be required to travel between our two facilities, as
needed. Salary range begins at $15.31 per hour and increases commensurate with
experience and qualifications.
