If you have always wanted to work in a library but haven’t made the commitment to become a librarian yet, you may want to consider starting out as a library assistant. Library assistants help librarians keep a library running efficiently by carrying out clerical duties, and also are available to help visitors or students find the resources and materials they are looking for. Keeping a library organized is the main function of a library assistant. They perform clerical functions within a library, and are typically supervised by library technicians or librarians. They help visitors find books or materials, check out or check in materials, answer questions, take incoming calls, keep things orderly by shelving books and materials, and take care of fines for overdue material. Library assistants can be found in public libraries; elementary and secondary schools; colleges, universities, and professional schools; corporate libraries; and bookmobiles.
