WHO WE ARE:

The New Brunswick Public Library Service (NBPLS) is made up of 63 public libraries throughout the province. Our libraries aim to be places where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather while they pursue their educational, social, and recreational needs.

THE POSITION:

As an on-call employee, you will work with the library team, helping to serve patrons. You will provide loan service through an automated circulation system, answer questions from patrons, make reading recommendations and help the public learn how to use the library and its services (including computers). You will put items on shelves, perform checks to make sure items are shelved properly, and assist in the maintenance of collections (ex. removing items that can no longer be borrowed, sending items to be repaired, etc.). You will also help with shipping and receiving materials, delegating tasks to volunteers, summer students and interns and other duties as assigned.

Working with the public requires being people-focused, compassionate, and able to problem solve in challenging situations.

This position requires travel, as well as daytime, evening and weekend work on an as-needed basis. Maintaining the library collections will involve some lifting.

• Language : some opportunities require written and spoken competence in English and French. Others will require written and spoken competence in English or in French only. Please state your language capability.
• Education : a high school diploma and at least one (1) year of experience working with the public.

Experience using email, the Internet and MS-Word is essential.

Please ensure that your preferred language for assessment (English or French) is identified on your resume. You must clearly demonstrate the essential qualifications to be given further consideration.

Prior to appointment, you will be required to obtain a criminal record check for work with the vulnerable sector, as you will be working directly with the public.

SALARY: $23.37 / hour
