Campus Pride Jobs

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Working the front desk, our customer service clerks serve as the \"face\" of the library. We strive to present a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone, so the successful candidate will be kind and courteous as they help patrons of all ages check out materials, answer directional questions, register new users and answer the phone. (We don\'t have an automated answering system, so you get to be the \"voice\" of the library, too!) Patience, excellent listening skills, and the ability to problem solve are all essential as you\'ll be helping patrons resolve problems with lost or damaged materials in the best possible manner for users and the library. We handle personal information so understanding the importance of confidentiality is essential. Clerks are also responsible for re-shelving library materials, so you\'ll have to be able to push loaded book carts (no more than 50 lbs), alphabetize materials, and sort things into Dewey Decimal order (we can help you brush up on this!). This is detail oriented work so we want someone who prides themselves on accuracy. It\'s also physically challenging work, as it requires you to bend, squat, kneel or crawl as you put things away on the bottom shelves. You\'ll be up and moving for most of your shifts so dig out those running shoes (which go well with our laid back dress code). You\'ll also be dealing with technology. Computers, printers and self-checks oh my! If you\'ve never actually followed through on your threats to throw that printer out the window, we will be happy to train you on our systems, but a basic familiarity with computers, email and things that go \"beep\" is a definite plus. The Lester Public Library team is a friendly and outgoing group and we think this is one of the best possible places to work. You won\'t get to read all day, but if you like books, people and a low-stress work environment, this might just be the place for you. Hours are flexible, with daytime, evening and Saturday shifts. Pro-rated holidays and vacation are included. ***** OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum Qualifications: 1. High School diploma or equivalent 2. Previous experience working in a customer service position. 3. Ability to operate library automation systems and personal computers. 4. Ability to communicate effectively orally, in writing and via email. 5. Ability to work as part of a team. ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply In Person: Lester Public Library 1001 Adams St Two Rivers, WI 54241 Other: City job applications and complete job descriptions may be picked up at the front desk of the library or found at our website: www.lesterlibrary.org. Position will be open until filled.
