Backup Library Page Application

Plaistow residents only, sophomore year and above

The Plaistow Public Library is seeking a Library Page to fill out our team of three Book Wranglers. This is a year-round position for high school students only (including home schoolers).

As a Library Page you help define our patrons’ experience of the library. You don't just shelve the Library's materials -- you are part inventory control specialist, part display technician, and part product placement expert.

You also greet people warmly and provide helpful, courteous service and information about our collections, programs and services. You help out with patrons’ basic computer needs. You are organized and detail-oriented -- basically, a neat freak who gets satisfaction from helping people and making sure the Library's spaces are tidy and uncluttered.

Finally, you play a vital role in helping the Library stay young and as current as possible with the world of Plaistow's teens.

This job requires being on the move. You will regularly stand, walk, crouch, stoop, squat, twist, climb, push/ pull up to 50 pounds, and lift up to 25 pounds. Evening and weekend shifts will be a normal part of your schedule.
