Buffalo & Erie County Public Library
Librarian I
I provide reference and advisory services to library patrons in the Buffalo city branch libraries.
Typically I work the reference desk, circulation desk, and supervise staff simultaneously. I will help patrons with research, give hands-on technology training, and of course, the standard printed sources. Libraries are becoming increasingly digital so I spend a lot of time tutoring patrons on their iPads, tablets, and other devices. Most libraries offer free e-books, so ask your friendly neighborhood librarian about that! The city branch libraries really offer more than I can explain here!
Here's the first step for professionals
Keep an open mind, I never expected to end up in the profession I am in. Always say yes to an interesting experience!
