Due
to a retirement and internal promotion, the Town of Cheshire seeks
candidates for two 15 hour Library Clerk (L-1) positions in our
Materials Management Department. Cheshire (pop. 29,330) is a vibrant
community located in the heart of Connecticut (2 hours to New York or
Boston) and is well-known for its excellent education system and
exceptional quality of life.
Join a dynamic team of customer
service professionals who are dedicated to ensuring library patrons have
a positive and welcoming experience when they visit. This front line
position is primarily responsible for checking in and shelving
materials, checking materials out to patrons and assisting them with
their accounts, registering patrons for library cards, answering basic
questions about library services, assessing patron’s needs and referring
them to the appropriate staff for help, and assisting with the set up
for library programs. The ideal candidate should have solid customer
service skills and must be able to interact with the public and
coworkers in a friendly and courteous manner while juggling multiple
priorities. A familiarity with basic computer applications is
necessary. Experience working in a library is a plus but not required.
This position includes some physically challenging work including
lifting, bending and standing for extended periods. A high school
diploma, GED or equivalent is required.
The starting minimum
hourly rate is $15.50/hour with a 15 hour work week that includes
evenings and weekends. For further information including the full job
