Job description:

Anythink is changing the way people think about libraries, but our products are still the cornerstone of our operation. You will be in charge of receiving our new materials from vendors and routing them to the appropriate location. You will process interlibrary loan requests to help our customers access materials from libraries across the country. You control the flow of new materials through the district, ensuring all items are accurately accounted for, and you quickly address any quality issues that may arise. You feel like the luckiest person in the world because you're the first person to see the latest and greatest books and movies for our customers.

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 organized, detail-oriented and keep things in tip-top order.
• You have an easygoing nature, are flexible and can easily switch gears when necessary.

A position you'll love:

• You love surprises. You look at receiving the stacks of new boxes as opening a bunch of gifts. Every day is your birthday here.
• You are a wizard at the interlibrary loan process, processing incoming and outgoing loans and returning items to their owning libraries when our customers are finished with them.
• You have a keen eye for performing quality control of materials that have been processed and cataloged by an outside agency. You quickly address any problems that arise by re-labeling and updating the catalog as necessary.
• You are a genius problem solver, working with customers and partner libraries to resolve ILL request issues with grace and hospitality.
• You are comfortable with technology. You can manipulate a spreadsheet, tackle a copy machine for label printing and enter data into our integrated library system with ease.
• Occasionally, you're responsible for adding the finishing touches to our fabulous materials by processing them for circulation, including adding RFID tags, barcodes, branch stickers and jacket covers.
• You enjoy being on the move; you will lift, stretch and push with muscles you didn't even know you had.
• You are an explorer of efficiencies; you're always looking for ways to improve processes to get our new materials out on the floor faster.
• You are the first to lend a helping hand for the department and help with special projects as needed.
• You have great ideas to share on district committees.
• You are a lifelong learner, enjoying your journey of professional development.
• You love our products. You are a voracious reader, listen to a diverse range of music, and love a good movie.
• You do the right thing. Every decision you make and action you take is an opportunity to demonstrate our collective integrity.
