• Perform reader advisory services by telephone, email, and in person. Provide customer support for downloading reading materials from the internet. Request interlibrary loans. Perform reference and referral services for patrons.
• Act as liaison and account manager for youth and school accounts. Update account reading preferences, establish new accounts, cancel lapsed accounts and contact to retrieve materials on loan. Select materials for institutional collections upon request.
• Assign subject headings to new books and complete book records. Suggest new titles for recording.
