ABOUT THE POSITION
The City of Goleta welcomes applications for the position of Part-Time Library Assistant at the Buellton Library! The ideal candidate will be a team player with strengths in the areas of customer service and attention to detail. The primary responsibilities of the Library Assistant include assisting patrons with a variety of information needs, providing programming and collections support, and completing a range of circulating procedures. The position is approximately 15 hours per week. The anticipated schedule is expected to include weekday, evening, and weekend shifts.

DEFINITION
To lead and perform a wide variety of technical and clerical library work including cataloging and circulating material for a specific function of the library; to perform technical and clerical work in support of various sections of the library; and to provide general information and assistance to library patrons.
