Review Our Fall Senior Meeting Slides and Recording!
So you want to be a media assistant?
Please read the full job description before you fill out the application. (It's highly likely that you will need to remember some of this information for later in the application.)
Skill sets needed:
Attention to Detail - seriously. You will be putting books in both numeric and alphabetical order. A lot.
Helpful attitude - Libraries are places where people often need lots of help. They need help from friendly people who make them feel comfortable.
Hard worker - much of what you do is self-directed. You’ll need to be able to work on your own and as part of a group.
Customer-service excellence - we strive to be kind, nice and helpful to everyone who uses the library.
Good attendance record - the majority of your grade is participation based. If attendance is an issue, this may not be a good match for you.
As a media assistant you are the face of the library! That means you’ll not only be responsible for helping JHS students, teachers and staff with their information needs, but you’ll also be the one making sure that the library is a great place to be.
Just some of the things you’ll be doing:
- Keeping the books in order and looking good
- Collection maintenance (inventory, processing books, etc.)
- Straightening and tidying (this does mean cleaning)
- Information Literacy related assignments
Please note that there are assignments for this class. We will use Canvas. If you feel you would not be able to (or want to) be a helpful member of the library team, please consider other options.
