Library: Rockland Public Library
Town: Rockland
Library Type: Public
Position Type: Non-MLS
Deadline: Open until filled

Description, How to Apply, and Contact:

Join Our Crew: Rockland Public Library On-Call & Saturday Library Circulation Assistant.

Got a great sense of humor, a soft spot for organized chaos, and genuine love for helping people? We want you! We're looking for someone who thrives on variety - one week you're helping a toddler find their first chapter book, the next you're troubleshooting a printer jam or tracking down an interlibrary loan from three towns over. If you're quick on your feet, unflappable under a rush of patrons, and secretly (or not-so-secretly) a detailed nerd, this is your spot.

The gig: On-call/sub shifts, plus at least one Saturday a month. Perfect if you want flexible, meaningful work without a rigid 9-to-5.

You'll be the face (and voice) of the library checking materials in and out, registering new patrons, answering phones, shelving with precision, and keeping our Interlibrary Loan system running smoothly. Some days it's quiet and methodical; some days it's a full-on public service sprint. You'll roll with both.

What makes you a great fit:

People-person energy with real customer service chops
Sharp attention to detail (shelf-reading is basically a treasure hunt)
Comfortable with tech bonus points if you've used Sierra or another ILS
A multi-tasker who stays calm when three things happen at once
Reliable, flexible, and able to keep patron info confidential (Maine Statutes require it we take it seriously)
Can lift up to 25 lbs. and stay on your feet for a shift What you'll actually do:
Help patrons in person, by phone, and online
Manage check-ins/check-outs and library card registrations
Handle fees for printing, copies, etc.
Shelve and shelf-read accurately
Open/close the building
Process overdue notices and lost item billing
Help process our Interlibrary Loan operation (yes, that includes packing boxes)
Join occasional team meetings/workshops to keep sharpening your skills

The essentials:

High school diploma or equivalent (some post-secondary training/experience a plus)
At least 1 year of relevant work experience; library or customer service experience strongly preferred
Strong written/verbal comprehension and independent judgment
Ability to build good working relationships with coworkers, supervisors, and the public

If you like the idea of being the friendly, capable person patrons count on and you want a job that keeps you on your toes without keeping you chained to a desk we'd love to hear from you.

** All requirements and skills are considered to be essential, unless otherwise indicated. **

Hourly rate is $18.00. Set hours are not guaranteed.

An application and job description are available on the City's website.
