As you bring our materials out to our customers' neighborhoods, you earn trust by being knowledgeable about our products and making recommendations that connect with the customer. You help them find the fuel and the spark to unlimited ideas and opportunities. You are an Anythinker in Motion, helping people take their imagination anywhere it wants to go.

Ready to join in a bold opportunity to help us take community library services to an entirely new dynamic realm?

Who you are:
• You are warm and friendly, and you just like helping people.
• You stay calm under pressure and think about safety above all things.
• You have willingness and a positive attitude to change direction when the day requires it.
• You're outgoing – you love letting people know what's new and happening.
• You engage well with others and are passionate about providing an exemplary customer experience.
• You're a team player who thinks quickly on your feet.
• You're excited about the prospect of growing and learning in a changing environment.
• You inspire fun in the people around you.

A position you'll love:
• You warmly welcome customers into our mobile library and ensure a great experience and a fond farewell.
• You have your finger on the pulse of the community and their needs.
• You are an explorer of great conversations, talking to our library customers about the promotions, programs and services available at the library.

• You have a passion for getting the materials out to our customers as quickly as possible. You make sure the bookmobile looks clean and tidy and materials can be easily found.
• You're the point person to pull the holds list and return expired holds, ensuring our products get into the hands of customers thrilled to have them.
• You are a genius when it comes to moving materials through the system; you process the daily delivery and get it onto the bookmobile quickly. You can trace items, claim returns and get them to their correct location. 
 You enjoy being on the move; you will lift, stretch and push with muscles you didn't even know you had.
• You love meeting and inspiring new people. You enjoy talking about and offering meaningful recommendations of the latest books, movies and music.
• Along with being a great host/coordinator of enterprise-wide programs, you have amazing ideas for creating Anythink services and programs on the road.
• You have a mind for safety. As a driver, you perform all the safety checks to prepare the bookmobile for the road. At each destination, you check off your safety processes to ensure a safe landing and launching of our 36-foot vessel.
• You are a wizard at making our library customers feel welcome; you register them for a library card, help them with a fee, request a book through RLD or ILL, or walk them through their basic computer needs.
• You are comfortable with computers; you can help our library customers with their basic computer needs, including e-mail, answering Microsoft product questions, and navigating the Internet.
• You have great ideas to share on district committees.
• You are a lifelong learner, enjoying your journey of professional development.
• You are the person the library customer recognizes and seeks out to say hello. You are the go-to person to help them over the phone and identify collection needs based on customer comments.
