I conducted basic title and author searches and helped patrons place holds or find titles within the library. To maintain library operations, I upheld policies and procedures to keep the library accessible for all users of resources and services. As a clerk, I managed cash handling, banking, office supply orders, and utilized office and computer equipment to enter, create, and send recorded data, correspondences, flyers, and notices. I also prepared and processed periodicals and newspapers for circulation, and deliver envelopes, shipment boxes, and other materials to appropriate department or office. Because I worked at two branches, I regularly coordinated and followed up with regular and substitute staff to ensure tasks were completed as efficiently and duly as possible.
